Smoky Quartz Crystals from South Africa

Well-formed smoky quartz crystals emerging from a bed of rock matrix. Some crystals are very small so are easily missed.  Three or four are broken but we believe this happened naturally many many years ago.

Clusters of terminated quartz crystals are common and formations can vary in size from tiny to gigantic.  Despite being one of the most abundant minerals on the planet, quartz has fascinated man for thousands of years.

These highly translucent smoky quartz crystals have a very subtle colour.
