Massive, 15" Natural Smoky Quartz Crystal - Brazil
This is a huge, 15" long, dark brown, natural smoky quartz crystal from Minas Gerais, Brazil. This crystal has a mixture of polished and natural faces for overall aesthetic enhancement. The polishing can be found across all of the facets on one end, and along one side. It has not been heated or treated to change the natural color.
This massive crystal is littered with "healed" terminations along one end.

About Smoky Quartz
Smoky quartz is a variety of quartz distinguished by its smoky gray to deep brown or nearly black coloration, a name inspired by the hazy, smoke-like appearance within the crystal. While some specimens can appear very dark or even opaque, most smoky quartz remains at least partially translucent, allowing light to pass through its internal veils and zoning. The color develops when trace amounts of aluminum within the quartz lattice are exposed to natural irradiation over geologic time, subtly altering the crystal structure and producing its characteristic smoky tones.
