These intricate and unique Smokey Clear Cascading Quartz clusters are very beautiful and have nice clear white phantoms in clear tips. These are classic formations. Nice!
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Luena, Congo, is known for its classic cascading quartz crystals, displaying a smokey color with distinctive phantom-like formations. Recently, the region has produced mostly clear to smokey cascading quartz with well-defined phantoms, while its famous counterpart, Citrine has become increasingly rare. The crystals from Luena are characterized by subtle smokey tones and intricate phantom layers within the quartz. Located in a highly remote area, access to the Luena deposits is challenging. Transporting the material down the mountainside on motorbikes adds further difficulty, making it difficult to prevent specimen breakage.
