Well-known author and collector John Sinkankas self-collected this fine smoky quartz on cleavelandite from the famous Little Three Mine in 1965. The unusually blocky, complete all-around smoky has excellent luster and is very transparent/glassy. The smoky quartz is beautifully perched on a bed of bladed cleavelandite.
