Description

The name of this great locality speaks for itself, the Rufibach Cleft at Zinggenstock in the Bern Canton. So much history, success and tragedy are associated with this site. Here you see a bunch of superbly defined Smokies of the very best quality. Just a small cab, but what one. The single crystals are razor sharp, mirror bright and absolutely gemmy. The contrast with the matrix is great and the colour among the finest for the species. Only one minor imperfection at the base of a crystal. Super aesthetics,- just stunning.
