This mineral specimen is smoky quartz, and features beautifully subtle scenic phantom inclusions of green and white chlorite. (The crystal is unpolished, and chips and abrasions have not been polished out.) The crystal features clean crystalline faces and a fascinating interior—barely-there smoky tone and a heavy golden brown limonite accent are a pretty contrast to the fuzzy, pale green and white phantom. Super subtle rutile needles can be seen in several areas. A cool, all natural specimen for your collection!
