The crystals display clear prismatic shapes, clean terminations, and beautiful natural growth structures. Between the quartz crystals, several pronounced siderite rosettes in warm beige to ochre tones sit, creating an aesthetic contrast to the smoky quartz.
Features
Minerals: smoky quartz (quartz variety), siderite (carbonate)
Training: Several large quartz crystals, siderite in rosette form
Dimensions: approx. 30 × 26 × 13 cm

Description
This showcase piece is characterized by its massive size and the aesthetic combination of two minerals. The smoky quartz is formed in vibrant, blocky crystals and is naturally transparent. The siderite rosettes sit artistically between the quartz and give the piece a dynamic, almost sculptural appearance. Such combinations have become rare on the market and are highly popular among collectors.
