Triple Terminated Crystal Point of Rock Crystal and Smoky Quartz

A rock crystal-smoky quartz triple crystal point from Zimbabwe. Three quartz individuals grow parallel from a common nucleus, forming a connected three-point aggregate in block format.

Triple crystals are a site-specific collector's item. The constellation in this size allows for complete readability of the growth geometry from multiple perspectives.

The color zoning from rock crystal to smoky quartz documents the crystal's radiation history. Uncolored rock crystal areas versus colored smoky quartz portions mark the change in radiation conditions during growth. Aluminum substitutions are stimulated into color centers by natural background radiation.

Zimbabwean pegmatites provide premium material with this dual characteristic. The combination of triple geometry and color zoning achieves a premium collector's classification.
