dreamy, clear, perfect Smoky Quartz crystal, collector's item

A clear, premium-quality smoky quartz crystal from Brazil. Gallery format, clean hexagonal quartz symmetry, with transparent column walls and a sharply cut pyramidal point.

Smoky quartz is a variety of quartz that has been darkened by natural radiation. Aluminum substitutions in the crystal lattice are stimulated by radioactive background radiation to form color centers. The intensity of the discoloration documents the radiation dose and growth time.

Clear smoky quartz crystals of block size are a rarity due to their deposit conditions. Material of this height with simultaneously high clarity documents an extreme mineralization constellation.

Brazilian pegmatites provide this material. The cut polish highlights the crystallography and makes the hexagonal symmetry legible from multiple angles.

Quartz has a Mohs hardness of 7 and is mechanically robust. Clear smoky quartz crystals of this size are among the world's most highly valued collector's items in the quartz family.

A museum-quality collector's item with documented Brazilian provenance, full clarity, and clean crystal geometry.
