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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Liminal Stone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52789871149188,"sku":"C-08","price":225.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/1815\/4628\/files\/DB30358C-7149-44D4-B980-9D3E4BA8E444.jpg?v=1789016472","url":"https:\/\/www.theliminalstone.com\/products\/smoky-quartz-with-goethite","provider":"The Liminal Stone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
