7" Natural Smoky Quartz Crystal with Phantoms - Brazil
This is a stunning, dark brown, natural smoky quartz crystal with white phantoms, collected from Brazil. This crystal has a mixture of polished and natural faces for overall aesthetic enhancement. The polishing can be found across one of the facets and along one side. It has not been heated or treated to change the natural color.
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.
