Small as it is, this elestial smoky quartz carries rutile threads inside and flashes of mica on its layered surface.
The terraced alligator texture builds up in steps, and the smoky translucence lets you see fine rutile strands deeper in the crystal. Tilt it and the mica catches the light in small flashes, so it is a piece to hold and turn rather than just set on a shelf. At about 2 inches, it fits in a display case, a pocket or a small gift box. It makes a thoughtful gift for a collector or a first step into elestial quartz. This is the exact crystal shown.
The crystal is about 2 by 2 by 1.5 inches. Look at the hand photo for scale.
Elestial is a market name for skeletal quartz, which forms when crystal edges grow faster than the faces, leaving layered, terraced faces sometimes called alligator skin. Smoky quartz gets its brown color from natural radiation acting on trace aluminum, and rutile adds fine needle like inclusions.
Stone Meaning: Smoky quartz is traditionally associated with grounding and calm.
