This is a very interesting specimen. This smokey quartz has aegirine that formed along the side with clay deposits from the earth it was mined from. Some regions of this lustrous crystal are clear. The termination has a few chips but this smokey quartz is beautiful nonetheless. Dimensions: 10.6 cm (4.19") x 4.7 cm (4.8")Weight: 150.4 g These crystals are natural and got their smoky colour from natural radiation emanating from other minerals while the crystal is growing. Smoky Quartz is used for Grounding and Cleansing. The pegmatites of Mount Malosa are famous for beautiful Smokey Quartz crystals as well as Aegirine and Zircon. The mining area is at a high elevation and difficult to reach. Miners must bring supplies for several days as it is not possible to go and up and down in a single day. Judy Hall, author
