Sale price $475.00Regular price
A striking smoky quartz gwindel from the Swiss Alps, showing the unmistakable rotated, stacked growth that defines this habit. The crystal forms with a subtle torsion through the body, creating a slightly off-axis structure where the faces shift and lean rather than aligning in a straight, symmetrical point.
The smoky tone is rich and translucent, allowing light to move through the interior while catching on internal fractures and reflective planes. Broad prism faces flash with layered reflections, including areas of horizontal striation that give a brushed, metallic sheen when turned in the light. The termination is present, though the visual weight of the piece sits in the sculptural body and its twisting architecture.
This is a naturally complex growth form rather than a single straightforward point multiple quartz segments appear to have developed in a fused, rotated arrangement, giving the piece depth and movement from every angle.
A solid collector example of Alpine gwindle quartz, with strong presence and character.
