Description: This is the best and largest smoky quartz triplet crystal in dark smoky color and clarity that we have ever had in 30 years, in terms of the beauty of the inclusions. It has large clear areas throughout from tip to base and great inclusions, some of which show shimmer in all the colors of the rainbow. Some of the inclusions look like mysterious streaks and nebulae of small water or air bubbles, some of which run parallel to each other in the crystal, or one is reminded of structures from outer space, as seen in images taken by the Hubble telescope. The crystal has a transverse light and dark phantom crystal. At the end, where it was grown, it was cut, so that it stands securely by itself. On a photo you can also see the growing point on the mother rock. The crystal was illuminated only with warm and cold light, not with colored light. However, it constantly changes its color and even appears slightly pink in some light. You can light it from below with our beech wood light bases and warm/cold switchable LED. The pictures show both sides of the crystal.

We get our crystals directly from the mines, directly from the people who dig the stones. We regularly visit mines in person several times a year. In the mines where our crystals are found, we guarantee that there is no child labor and we take care to protect the employees. We have documented this in a film that is regularly shown in the museum. The miners receive a fair price for their crystals.
