This is a dark and moody smoky quartz from Morocco, with a wonderful contrast between the smooth reflective quartz and a thick goethite patina with extraordinary botryoidal detailing across the surface.

The crystal has a long, tapered form with a sharply defined termination and strong horizontal growth along the exposed quartz faces. Where the surface remains clear the smoky quartz is highly lustrous, while the coated faces are heavily textured by the goethite, creating a dense matte surface over a large portion of the crystal.

Across these darker areas, the goethite develops into fine rounded botryoidal growth, with small overlapping globular forms creating an unusually intricate surface texture. Subtle iron mineralisation is also present through the coating, adding further variation without interrupting the predominantly dark appearance of the specimen.

The contrast between glossy exposed quartz and the densely textured goethite gives the piece a particularly dramatic appearance, with very different character depending on the viewing angle.

Are repairs or restorations disclosed?

Yes. Any known repair, restoration, reattachment or treatment is stated in the listing.

What if a specimen sells during checkout?

Most pieces are unique and available in a quantity of one. A specimen is only secured once checkout has been completed successfully.

Can I purchase a specimen as a gift?

Can I combine purchases?

Absolutely. We're happy to combine multiple purchases into one shipment, helping you save on shipping costs.

If you'd like to continue shopping before your specimens are dispatched, simply use OPENBOX at checkout. We'll safely hold your purchases until you're ready to have them shipped together.

How do open boxes work?

Our open box service allows you to purchase specimens over time and have them held safely with us until you're ready for a combined shipment.

To start an open box, simply enter OPENBOX at checkout. You can continue adding specimens to your box with subsequent purchases using the same code.

When you're ready to receive your collection, place your next order without the code, or contact us to arrange dispatch.

I already have an open box. Will my new order ship with it?

Yes. By default, your existing open box will be combined with your new website order and dispatched on the next available business day.

If you'd prefer to continue adding to your open box, simply enter OPENBOX at checkout. This lets us know you'd like to keep your purchases on hold for a future combined shipment.

How do I close my open box?

When you're ready to receive your specimens, simply place your next website order without using the OPENBOX code. This signals that you're ready for your accumulated purchases to be combined and dispatched on the next available business day.

If you're not making another purchase, simply contact us to arrange dispatch of your existing open box.
