Item: Smoky Quartz Quartzoid Specimen

Code#: smqm111
Weight: 2.0 Lbs
Size: 4.8" x 4" x 2.7" tall
Location: Mined in Bahia, Brazil
Price: $78.50
This rare specimen of natural color smoky quartz is so dark that most of the crystals appear to be black. It shows good vitreous luster on its multiple parallel and stepped pyramidal terminations which are mostly in very good condition with some abraded areas. This naturally terminated smoky quartz specimen has 4-sided terminations standing up from the matrix, but it is actually a double-ended (bi-terminated) bi-pyramid with no prismatic faces. The c-axis is parallel to the matrix surface so the "4-sided terminations" standing up from the matrix are actually the juncture of the terminations of the two 6-sided pyramids. The mineralogical term for this bi-pyrimidal form without prismatic faces is "quartzoid". This is a great specimen to fool a geologist with at first glance, since the form of the quartz's 4-sided crystal "tips" look more like black flourite crystals! The photo at left shows a close-up, see also a full-view photo.
