Very impressive, huge plate of very lustrous, well-formed highly-transparent smoky quartz crystals with multiple “gwindel” crystals to 9 cm. surrounded by typical prismatic quartz crystals on quartz and adularia matrix from the famous Argentière Glacier in the French Alps. In great condition and displays well from numerous angles. Wow!! Mark Cross photo.
