Swiss smokey Quartz sets the standard for luster, clarity, and quality. Add to this quality a single Quartz crystal pointing up to a twisted Gwindel. When you combine both a high quality single and gwindel Quartz, the rarity factor goes up exponetially. I love mineral specimens such as this that are both unique and beautiful. By the way, you all do know that the guys that mine these things rappel and climb thousands of feet to get these. They risk their lives to get these mineral specimens, and that is one reason I appreciate them so highly. It's complete all around and undamaged. The gwindel is fully transparent and has a good twist. Comes with a number of old collection labels including Gene Reynolds and Fred Pough.
