Description
A rare Smoky Quartz cluster from the construction of the "Bundesstraße" B 92 near the town of Bad Brambach in the Saxon region of the Vogtland. The specimen has alpinotype appearance with its sharp, gemmy, smoky brown crystals with a characteristic vitreous luster. Only minimal imperfection on this desirable specimen. During the construction of a bypass road in the early 2000s, Quartz veins with specimens of classic scale and quality were encountered. The possibility of new finds is highly improbable due to the completion of the construction work and the remediation of the construction site.
