A gorgeous new find of stark jet black Smoky Quartz with a natural pedestal accent of creamy white Feldspar, is from a July 2021 discovery at one of the most beautiful and remote locations in China – the Wulian Mountains.  Like the true Alpine Smoky Quartz, the luster of the Smoky Quartz is vitreous and the clarity is translucent.  Some of these Quartz crystal points have intersected among themselves, piercing into, above and below each other, adding aesthetics and rarity to the piece, so stunning!  The prism faces of the Smoky Quartz exhibit geometric, horizontal striations that is truly beautiful.  It has just enough accent of a contrasting creamy white color at the base to be dramatic, and presents very elegantly.  Some micro crystals of Epidote grown on the underside of the piece, adding sparkles and colors.  The photos don’t do it justice at all, I can’t possibly capture the true beauty of this gorgeous specimen.  Comes with a high quality copper-wired display stand.
