5.6" Dark Smoky Quartz Crystal Cluster - Brazil
This is a natural smoky quartz crystal cluster from Brazil. These crystals have not been heat treated to enhance their color and are have not undergone any polishing.
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.
