Smoky aka Morion Quartz Crystals
A beautiful cluster of morion quartz crystals ranging in size from a few millimetres to four centimetres.
This carefully chosen piece comes from the Ouachita (wash-i-taw) and Ozark Mountains in the USA. This range stretches from west central Arkansas to south eastern Texas.
The deep smoky-brown to almost black colour of morion quartz is caused as natural radiation interacts with impurities of aluminium.
Morion quartz also known as morion is a variety of smoky quartz.
