DA87AG0: Quartz (variety amethyst) with Quartz (variety smoky)

Subparallel aggregates of flattened crystals on a surface of milky Quartz. The crystals which are bright and with very well defined faces and edges have a very dense and deep color with smoky tinges, especially on the terminations.

We’ll send to the buyer a digitalized copy of a single label, commonly covering a group of similar samples from the same locality.
