Natural Smokey Phantom Quartz Clusters x 2 From Luena, Congo
A NOTE FROM NICK
Very Aesthetic Pair of Smokey Fan Cascading Luena Quartz with White Phantoms in terminations. Failry Nice condition and mostly intact (Rare for Luena...if you were to see the road to Luena in Congo this is almost understandable!) Both Clusters are beauties.
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.
