Outstanding specimen of doubly terminated Quartz var. Smoky decorated by Chabazite and Epidote over Orthoclase base from Kairiaka granite quarry, Bulgaria which is closed now. It displays chunky Quartz var. Smoky crystals to 51mm. The main crystal is doubly terminated. The smoky crystals are very dark black, well shaped and highly lustrous. Two of them grow on 90 degree. The rhombohedral Chabazite crystals are orange-brown, lustrous and gemmy. All over are seen minor green Epidote needles. White Orthoclase crystals are sharp and form the base. They give strong contrast. The stand is very aesthetic. Complete all over floater specimen. In excellent condition – some small imperfections.
