Description

Oldtimer Japan law twin smoky quartz from the classic New Mexico locale. Textbook shape for a closed (heart) twin, the specimen displays excellent transparency and great lustre, but also some subparallel growth patterns on its faces.

Not damage free, as depicted, the specimen comes from a Swiss collection dated back to the 1970s.

Definitely uncommon material to spot in Europe. Connoisseur stuff!
