A plate of nicely translucent, light smoky quartz. As received the specimen was covered with severely damaged baryte blades (imagine it had been bashed with a hammer) but these were removed to reveal a significantly more aesthetic specimen. (Tiny remnants remain but these are not easily removable - except maybe by air abrasion - and do not distract.) Sits vertically or flat for display without needing a stand. Nice condition. Illustrated on page 296 of my new book Mineral Specimen Cleaning and Development for the Amateur.
