Natural Smokey Quartz Clusters x 2 From Luena, Congo

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Luena Quartz With Cascading Phantoms!!

Experience the allure of Luena Quartz, renowned for its stunning clear to smoky cascading phantom material. In recent years, Luena has predominantly produced this exquisite quartz with its unique phantom formations. However, citrine from this region has become exceptionally rare, a trend exacerbated even before the COVID-19 pandemic.

Luena is famous for its citrine, though the availability has dwindled, making it increasingly important to support mining efforts by acquiring available specimens. The classic cascading quartz from Luena is celebrated for its optic to near-optic clarity and gentle smoky hue, often showcasing mesmerizing phantoms within the crystals.

Due to the challenging conditions of the mining area, which involves several hours of motorbike travel and remote locations, you might encounter minor damages on some pieces. These imperfections are a result of the journey from the mine to the market, compounded by sporadic political instability that further complicates access.

Despite these challenges, Luena Quartz remains a sought-after collector's gem, with its exceptional clarity and unique phantom features making each piece a remarkable addition to any collection.
