Description
The Johanneszeche in northern Bavaria is better known for its colorless Quartz and especially the so-called “Mascherl”, a local term for these pieces that is impossible to translate. However, it is the more astonishing is this specimen is a faintly Smokey Quartz. It was found some time ago in the 1960s and has an exceptionally good transparency and high vitreous luster. Not entirely perfect, “flea bites” on the terminations, but still great and historic specimen.
