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 exceedingly vitreous and the clarity of this piece is particularly translucent.  Almost all of the Quartz crystal points have intersected among themselves, piercing into, above and below each other, adding aesthetics and rarity to the specimen, 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.  This is the last piece left of this size class and the condition is supreme to almost perfect.  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.
