Superb, complex, totally pristine “floater” smoky quartz crystal with an unusual doubly-terminated skeletal form and several large, easily eye-visible movable bubbles (fluid inclusions), from old finds in Brazil. An exceptional Brazilian smoky quartz that is a real pleasure to hold and study closely on every side. Mark Cross photo.
