Dark smokey Quartz crystals with green Amazonite feldspar. Good large crystals and nice composition to the crystals for excellent display. This
specimen naturally broke off the pocket wall in-situ and all the smokey Quartz crystals on the bottom of the specimen have recrystallized. There
is a natural fracture in the large Amazonite (but totally stable) and a couple small nicks on the main Quartz crystal, otherwise it's in great condition. This came out of an
old collection built in the 60s and 70s, and there is an old collection number stuck to the bottom. This is an old piece that has not had the professional
cleaning that modern Amazonite/Smokey specimens undergo.
