5.1" Smoky Quartz Crystal Cluster with Phantoms- Brazil
This is a beautiful cluster of smoky quartz crystals that contain phantoms, collected from Minas Gerais, Brazil. The color is natural and the crystals have not been heated, polished 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.
