Description: A clear quartz crystal with patches of very light amethyst and only a touch of smoky colouring, and a cloudy area just above its midline. The lower part has a few crystal inclusions.
There
is a flaw across one of the termination facets, and one at the
base of the adjoining one. Also a very
small nick on one of the termination ridges, and a few extremely minute
nicks (hardly visible to the naked eye)
to
the narrow female termination tip. One side of the crystal is damaged,
starting off with a very narrow nick on the facet ridge, which
then widens towards the base, where it ends
in a flaw. In the lower part are also a few pressure marks.
Despite this mentioned damage, it is still a lovely
crystal.
