Quartz var. Gwindel

No damage, no repairs.
Gorgeous. Matrix xls also perfect. Great smoky color.
Tough to photograph, because it's so clear and glassy - from one side of the gwindel you see through a full inch of Quartz as if you're looking through a tinted window. Will replace current pictures as soon as I have better shots.
