About this specimen

A single amber-smoke quartz point rises clear of the crowd here, its faces glassy and lightly stepped, while smaller smoky crystals glitter in the bed beneath it. Around them lie blocky cream-white dolomite crystals, and dropped into that pale ground are rounded garnets the colour of orange marmalade — two large enough to carry the eye, with a scatter of tangerine grains through the rest of the matrix. The underside is a dusty pink-grey rock that sets off the warm tones above.

Smoky quartz owes its colour to nothing added. Natural radiation acting on trace aluminium in the SiO2 lattice darkens otherwise clear quartz to tea and amber. The mix matters for care, because the species here are not equally tough: quartz sits at Mohs 7 and garnet close behind, but dolomite is only 3.5 to 4 and reacts to acid — keep household cleaners well away and lift dust with a dry brush.

The piece measures 4.3 × 3.8 × 3.0 cm and weighs 60 g. It comes unmounted, shown in the hand for scale; the photographs are of this piece and no other.
