This is an unusual and beautiful light smoky quartz, 4 oz, 2.65” by 1.65” by 1” from São José da Safira, Brazil. The base is healed and the crystal is literally “dented” from a large key where it rested against another quartz point. There is another shallow key on the opposite side. With a loupe, you will see tiny books of mica (and I almost think it’s lepidolite as I see the faintest blush of pink) on the faces, drifting down a side and lining the area where the tourmaline is. The tourmaline is a gorgeous emerald-green color and bifurcates the termination. At first, this crystal looks somewhat drab, but give her a chance and she will take your breath away as brilliant color reveals her inner beauty!
