10.8 x 3.4 x 2.4 cm. This exceptionally fine, doubly terminated, floater smoky quartz crystal compares very favorably with classic Alpine smoky quartzes, but is from Maine. The large crystal is very glassy, water-clear to translucent and has rich smoky color. The etched and notched faces really add character to this smoky. The sharp termination is pristine, as is the basal termination, which is a healed break with intense stepped-growth. Ex. Schlichter Collection.
