Alligator Smoky Quartz Crystal Cluster - One of a Kind, 5 In

Alligator quartz gets its name from texture, and this smoky quartz cluster has plenty of it.

The name refers to textured, terraced crystal faces, the look also sold as elestial. Mineralogists call this skeletal growth: the crystal edges grow faster than the faces, leaving the faces recessed. Add the brown to gray tone of smoky quartz and you get a cluster with real character up close. At about 5 inches it fits a desk, a shelf, a windowsill or a small mineral display. Give it to someone who prefers natural crystal forms over tumbled stones, or to a quartz collector filling out the varieties. The cluster in the photos is the one you get.

It is about 5 by 3 by 3 inches.

About Smoky and Skeletal Quartz

Smoky quartz gets its brown to gray color when natural radiation activates color centers around trace aluminum in the quartz. Skeletal quartz, sold as elestial, crystallizes in unusually saturated conditions, when crystal edges grow faster than the faces, so the faces look recessed, like panes in a window frame.

Stone Meaning: Smoky quartz is traditionally associated with grounding and calm.
