Elestial Smoky Quartz with Rutile - One of a Kind Alligator Quartz, Slim

This slim elestial smoky quartz has layered, terraced ridges along its length, and rutile inside adds fine flashes when light passes through.

Collectors call this texture alligator skin, because the faces build up in steps and plates instead of growing smooth. The fibrous growth and rutile give it more to look at than a standard smoky point, and the slim shape makes it easy to hold and examine. At about 6 inches long, it sits well on a desk, a bookshelf or in a collector's cabinet, and side lighting brings out every ridge. It makes a thoughtful gift for someone who loves textured, unusual quartz. This is the exact crystal shown.

The crystal is about 6 by 2 by 2.5 inches. Look at the back view photo to see the other side.

About Elestial Smoky Quartz with Rutile

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.
