Description

Exceptional smoky quartz from the Austrian Alps. First, it exhibits a super intense colour, almost appearing like a citrine in the center, the lustre is fantastic at the faces and the top termination is completely covered in a well visible layer of intense green chlorine. Cherry on the cacke is definitely the intergrown adularia crystal at the side of the smoky. A true Alpine treasure.
