Royal double terminator – the centrepiece of this specimen

The impressive double termination of this smoky quartz is a true highlight. With its symmetrical and perfectly formed structure, it forms the centre of the piece and draws all eyes with its clear, dark colour.

This structure gives the piece a special presence and makes it a unique specimen in any collection.

A fascinating growth pattern

The additional dark tips of the smoky quartz that surround the main piece impressively complement the overall picture. The growth pattern is reminiscent of a royal crown, with the double terminator as the central point and the other tips radiating like prongs in all directions. This growth pattern gives the piece a special depth and complexity that makes it a true work of art created by nature. The interplay of shape and colour creates a visual appeal that makes the piece a highly coveted collector's item.
