Quartz (Var: Smoky Quartz)
Fresno Co., California, USA
Cabinet, 10.9 x 9.4 x 4.1 cm
SOLD
A terrific smoky specimen from right outside of Fresno, California - so take note all you Cali collectors! It is actually a lot better in person than the pic shows. What you have is a very large compound crystal (flat contact where it met the pocket wall on the back) with complete, multiple terminations on either end! To one side is attached a cluster of smaller crystals, also with complex compound structure. The large compound crystal has a fine luster that does not come through in the photos - it is not dull or coated! You just do not see many smokies of this caliber on the market from this area - it looks (in its size and complexity at least) more like something from Brazil or Pakistan.
