Natural Smoky Quartz Crystal Tower

A polished smoky quartz tower with a warm brown tone and a crisp, faceted point. The photographs show light passing through its translucent upper section, while a cloudy section near the base give the crystal depth and character. Its compact shape makes it easy to display on a desk, shelf or among other mineral specimens.

Physical Properties

Smokey quartz is a naturally brown to grey variety of quartz (SiO₂), with a Mohs hardness of 7. This piece has polished faces and a pointed termination; internal veils and colour zoning are visible in the photographs.

Geology

Quartz crystallises from silica-rich fluids in spaces within rocks. Smokey quartz develops its characteristic colour through natural irradiation interacting with trace elements in the crystal structure. The precise source of this piece is not specified.

Crystal Properties
