Quartz var. Smoky Quartz

The Chamonix region within the spectacular Mont Blanc Massif has produced Quartz specimens which are some of the most sought after in the world. This stunning cabinet specimen is of superb display quality and is dominated by its main crystal standing an impressive 9 cm tall with a perfect and completely undamaged termination. The terminations of all the crystals in this group display distortions to their faces, alternating between broad and narrow, resulting in only the three much larger faces forming a trigonal apex. The Quartz is of a wonderful mid smoky clove and I would estimate the majority are of gem quality with only occasional veiled inclusions. It is a beautiful, classic and damage-free Smoky Quartz group from the Rhône-Alpes Region in France, one which will make a stunning addition to any collection.
