Colorado "smokey" quartz is found many places and sizes are very large at times.
This one being a large cabinet size piece.  Another fairly large piece (cabinet size) with an amazing combination of goethite.   And this 345 lb. monster crystal also found in Teller county Colorado.   Colorado smokey quartz also facets out very nicely!   Enjoy -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

Glad you like it Russ, some of the faceted smokey quartz are very pretty.
Here's another small smokey with a couple tiny smokey's formed right on the main crystal. This one should be really pretty once put through the cleaning processes. The tabby crystal is hard to see but it is terminated and the main crystal looks like it may be mended on the right end into many small terminations. For more info and details about Quartz, visit the Colorado Prospector quartz page.  We'll post some more pics after cleaning too. -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator
