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
