Smoky Quartz with Fluorite

This distinctive specimen showcases smoky quartz enhanced by delicate pinkish fluorite crystals adorning its surface, creating a visually compelling natural formation. The piece exhibits well-defined striations and notable luster characteristic of quality quartz. Notably, this mineral carries documented provenance, having been gifted from the collection of Kaspar Fahner, a renowned Swiss "Strahler" and mineral extractor. The combination of these two minerals in a single specimen - from this desired locality - makes this an exceptional find for serious collectors and enthusiasts of alpine mineral formations.
