      Smoky Quartz in a Half-Geode – Mooralla, Australia

      This specimen features a half-geode whose cavity is largely lined with small, colorless quartz crystals.

      At the center of the geode is a cluster of smoky quartz crystals, with smoky brown hues. The crystals are well-defined, with brilliant faces and good transparency that allows one to see their volume and some internal inclusions.

      The contrast between the darker smoky quartz crystals and the carpet of clear quartz surrounding them gives the specimen great depth.

      5.5 × 4.3 × 2.5 cm
