A large and very lustrous smoky quartz crystal is the focal point of this interesting specimen from Miage Glacier, Italy. It has a green chlorite inclusion that creates a lovely phantom at the termination. Also present on the matrix is several areas of green, fibrous bissolite, adding some nice color variation to the specimen.
