2.7" Smoky Quartz Crystal Cluster - Brazil
This is a 2.6" long, natural crystal cluster of dark smoky quartz crystals from Brazil. Nice terminations with only some minor dings. The crystals are more cloudy at the base, getting darker near the tips. The color is natural and the crystals have not been heated or treated.
Smoky quartz is a grey-brown to black variety of quartz. This common name is derived from the appearance of smoke within the quartz crystal. Depending on the location and the chemicals present during formation, smoky quartz can appear opaque black, but it is typically translucent to some extent. It is believed that the quartz gains this color from a combination of natural irradiation and aluminum impurities.
