3.4" Dark Smoky Quartz Crystals - Brazil
This is a beautiful, dark smoky quartz crystal cluster from Minas Gerais, Brazil. The color is natural and the crystals have not been heated, treated or polished. All of the crystals have nice terminations.
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.
