Brazilian Smoky Quartz Cluster | Exact Mineral Specimen
£55.00 GBP
Skip to product information
This Brazilian smoky quartz cluster brings together numerous intergrown crystal points in deep smoky-brown, charcoal and near-black tones. Sharply terminated crystals rise above a dense group of smaller points, creating a sculptural, three-dimensional formation for a mineral cabinet or display shelf.
In normal light, the darker tips look dramatic and almost black. Stronger light reveals warmer smoky-brown translucency through parts of the quartz, offering a different view of its internal structure.
You will receive the exact specimen shown in the listing photographs and video.

What makes this cluster distinctive?
Crystals of different sizes overlap throughout the cluster, with glossy termination faces contrasting against naturally textured surfaces. Pale mineral growth around parts of the base adds further contrast without distracting from the dark quartz points.
Display it where you can explore it from different angles: the overlapping points, internal transparency and variations in smoky colour become more apparent on closer inspection. It is an appealing addition to a Brazilian mineral collection or a display focused on quartz.
Natural characteristics
Contact points, inclusions, internal fractures, uneven surfaces, small edge irregularities, attached matrix and variations in crystal growth are normal characteristics of natural mineral specimens. Please review the photographs and video carefully to assess this individual piece.
Macro photography highlights crystal detail and can make a specimen appear larger. Colour also varies with lighting and screen settings.
Frequently asked questions
Will I receive the specimen pictured?
Yes. This listing is for one individual smoky quartz cluster, and you will receive the exact specimen shown.
Where is this smoky quartz from?
The specimen is from Brazil.
Is the cluster polished?
No. It is a natural, unpolished cluster with intergrown quartz crystal points.

Care and handling
Support the specimen from its solid base rather than its exposed crystal points. Dust gently with a clean, soft brush, and avoid impacts, abrasive cleaners and harsh chemicals.
