3.2" Smoky Quartz Crystal with Phantom - Poland

This is a natural smoky quartz crystal that contains a beautiful smoky phantom within, collected from Strzegom (Striegau), Poland.

Smoky quartz is a grey-brown to black variety of quartz. This common name is derived from the appearance of smoke within the quartz crystal. Depending on the location and the chemicals present during formation, smoky quartz can appear opaque black, but it is typically translucent to some extent. It is believed that the quartz gains this color from a combination of natural irradiation and aluminum impurities.
