DESCRIPTION
Smoky quartz crystals from Lincoln County, New Mexico are among the finest examples of smoky quartz from any locality in the United States. These crystals are not only high quality and very gemmy, but they sometimes form in classic "Japan"-Law twins. Originally discovered in the 1960's by a mineral collector/dealer, these smoky quartz twins remain one of the most impossible-to-obtain of all American finds; they represent an outstanding rarity!
