Smoky quartz point with hyaliteLocale: Erongo Mountain, Namibia Point length: 3. 5" Approx weight: 145g Smoky quartz from the Erongo region is typically a quite dark brown black color, with lower clarity due to natural inclusions, and a flat surface luster caused by etching. It grows sculptural angular points with nice striations. Paired with hyalite, the smoky quartz takes on a witchy appearance. I would dub these points "witch's fingers" but there is already a variety of quartz

Black iron inclusions pepper the quartz

it fluoresces and phosphoresces under 365nm UV light

a semi-transparent interior with a dark brown border

when exposed to UV light this area of the quartz glows as if more hyalite is trapped inside the point

I call this one The Circus Animal Cookie because it's flat with rounded edges vaguely resembling a moose with epidote antlers

I would love to know more about how these formed

mostly obscuring the vertical striations

This is a great "hodgepodge" specimen

and rhombohedral patterns can be seen in places

Sandstone arches make a nice decorative accent piece around the home or in a desert terrarium

with small quartz crystals sprinkle on top like an odd little bowl of cereal

An unknown mineral deposited along crystal junctions fluoresces bright green
