Quartz, var. Smoky Quartz, Gwindel

Specimen # 103103
Mineral: Quartz, var. Smoky Quartz, Gwindel
Location: Piz Cavardiras, Cavardiras Valley, Russein Valley, Disentis, Sursleva, Grisons, Switzerland
Size: 5.0 x 4.0 x 3.0 cm

Description

This is a gorgeous Swiss gwindel – a nice twist, absolutely brilliant lustre (as bright as quartz gets), and great transparency. There are a couple of chips and the right-hand crystal is incomplete – one can light it so that these are not distracting – in the end, these are what make this an affordable classic Swiss gwindel! Stands perfectly for display as photographed.

From the Tracy Kimmel Collection, she acquired it from The Arkenstone (label included). Even though it has imperfections, this truly is a beautiful Alpine jewel.
