ex. Charlie Key
Here is your chance to own a fabulous gem quartz with a smoky phantom. This specimen has been repaired to a sawn base, but was replaced as it originally grew. If you do not like the base it would be easy to remove the crystal and have one of the best smoky phantom singles in the collection...still worth the $300 on its own merit. But, we left it on, as Charlie did, for the overall impact.
ex. Charlie Key
A very sharp single crystal of smoky quartz with a small shaft showing scepter growth atop.
ex. Charlie Key
Truly unusual reverse-scepters from the Gobobos, one piled next to another! The milky quartz bottom with two smoky reverse scepters make this one of a kind.
ex. Charlie Key
An exquisite gemmy quartz single crystal with smoky and amethyst phantoms and a light smattering of hematite inclusions, to complete this wonderful piece. Ridiculously sharp and lustrous and clean, except for the tiniest of microdings on the termination, hard to notice.
ex. Charlie Key
A beautiful, gemmy, clear quartz crystal with amethyst and smoky phantoms. This crystal has a lovely sharp termination and rainbow effects galore. In person, it is very dramatic and leaps out!
ex. Charlie Key
A magnificent clear, gemmy quartz crystal with a dark purple phantom enhancing the interior. There are nine cute prehnite balls attached to the back which complete this 360-degree , pristine, specimen. It is so sharp, like cut, and one of my favorite single crystals in the whole offering.

A large smoky/amethystine, enhydro, scepter ! This crystal has stunning lustre. It is a perfect, gemmy crystal with an obvious enclosed (enhydro) water bubble crossing the main face of the crystal. Wonderful eye appeal.
ex. Charlie Key
This is a truly remarkable 5-cm-tall crystal. It has a pristine, glassy clarity seldom seen, highlighted by the sharp and deeply saturated internal phantoms which contrast so sharply. Matrix pieces are so rare from here, and this one is preserved on a (sawn) base of quartz and calcite.
ex. Charlie Key
A fasinating , doubly-terminated, smoky quartz that makes you think of a rocketship with flames coming out the tail. Single terminated top and multiple terminated bottom will 'blast-off" any collection.
ex. Charlie Key
Here is a cute skeletal scepter with very light amethystine/smoky inclusion.
ex. Charlie Key
A gemmy miniature , sharp and bright, with wonderful purple phantom growth.
ex. Charlie Key
An unusual amethyst/smoky quartz with skeletal faces, doubly-terminated, and a floater. The colors are more intense and the lustre higher, in person> A strange white floating object, is enclosed within?!
ex. Charlie Key
A favorite! This is a one of a kind specimen from the Gobobos area. On one side you have a doubly-terminated scepter with a purple stem and smoky top. The other crystal which is attached, is totally smoky. This is a masterpiece combination of two quartzes that look melded together!
ex. Charlie Key
This exquisite specimen is one of the highlights of the collection. It is a spectacular group of smoky and amethyst-phantomed crystals which splays out 3-dimensionally. Except for one teensy little ding on a side, it is perfect from all directions. Note the elegant curve at the tip! This is a competition winner.
ex. Charlie Key
A magnificent, gem-clear quartz with amethyst towards the base, smoky towards the center and a clear top with a moving water bubble right near the termination. Whoever gets this specimen is lucky -its just GORGEOUS in person in a way hard to convey in pics.
