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

I remember when they were extracting the big one hanging in the hole in the crystal digging thread. He was worried about it dropping while he was working on getting it out, so he put a bucket with a flannel over the it right under the smokey just in case if it dropped.
 Love seeing them pulled out and cleaned up but is much more of a rush seeing it still hanging in the hole.
