Product description
Mined from the rugged terrain of Tour Noir, this crystal embodies the wild spirit of alpine mineralogy. Its deep, smoky hues shift from charcoal to near-black, with subtle amber undertones that catch the light. The well-defined hexagonal structure and intricate surface textures tell a story of its formation deep within the mountain.
This piece isn't just a mineral sample; it's a slice of alpine geology you can hold in your hand. Whether you're a serious collector or simply drawn to nature's artistry, this smoky quartz offers a tangible connection to one of Earth's most dramatic landscapes.
