This is a "rarity" from Dal'negorsk from a very small, and uncommon, find for the locality over 10 years ago. A rather pretty specimen with decent transparency, glassy luster and an unusual color that appears smoky grey in some light, while showing a light lavender hue in other lighting. Great qualiy all around, with only a few minor imperfections.
A superb pristine, gemmy, terminated light smoky Quartz crystal with beautiful skeletal and stepped-growth features aesthetically perched on gneiss matrix. The sharp prism faces on the front compliment the stepped-growth faces on the back. Matrix skeletal smokies of this super quality are very rare from the famed Cavradi Gorge.
