Mineral lovers who prefer texture over polish will find plenty to study in a rough alligator smoky quartz cluster.
The faces show the layered, ridged surface that earns alligator quartz its nickname, and the brown smoky color runs through the crystals. Small, at about 1 by 2.25 by 2 inches, it fits a shadow box, a desk tray or a windowsill display, and it is an easy add on gift for someone who already collects quartz. Smoky quartz gets its color when natural radiation activates color centers around trace aluminum, and Brazil supplies most of the commercial material. It is sold rough, in its natural state, so every edge is as it formed. The cluster in the photos is the one you will receive.
It is about 1 inch by 2.25 inches by 2 inches.
