This is a huge and very impressive gwindel specimen. It features 6-7 doubly terminated individual smoky quartz crystals stacked together and forming this wonderful gwindel crystal. Small chipping is present along the sides, but it is in fact small in context. The colour and gemminess are incredibly fine and make this a centerpiece for every alpine collection. Great quality and visual impact!

 

What a killer specimen from the Swiss Alps! Several pink fluorites in a cluster are perched atop a clear quartz crystal! The fluorites have a very pleasing and intense pink colour and very good transparency! The quartz crystal is fully crystallized at the bottom side, too. The piece is in fact a floater and totally pristine all around! No damage and no repair!

 

Very nice crystals of Rosafluorit up to 20 mm on edge forming a well balanced aggregate.

 

Smoky quartz is very rare at the famous Cavradi, and this specimen comes from the best pocket of smoky quartz ever found there. It features a main crystal in a cluster of smaller ones, a little bit of the typical Cavradi schist matrix is attached on the back. There are a few contacts at the sides, but there is no damage on any of the main crystals.

 

Sharp and lustrous cluster of pyrrhotite crystals from an old find in Furka tunnel. A reddish rusty patina adds colour and some more interest.

 

This specimen features a top quality smoky quartz crystal surrounded by smaller ones and small adularia crystals on the bottom side. All crystals are in pristine condition and have the very best colour, lustre and transparency! The back side is crystallized also.

 

A 4 cm pink fluorite octohedron perched on smaller fluorite crystals! Small chlorite inclusions in places add a nice contrast. The crystal grew on a quartz crystal and became detached during growth, a small shard of that quartz crystal is still attached to the back side. The entire back side is re-crystallized and free of any damage or new contacts. Great aestetics and impact!

 

What a fantastic gwindel specimen! It has morion colour and a wonderful deep reddish brown when backlight. There are a few small contacts on the base side (these are well visible on the pictures, but they are all small and insignificant). There is no damage, no edge wear and no chips! The luster is exceptionally bright on all sides! Internal gemminess is amazing also, no cracks and no inclusions from top to bottom! One of the very best small cabinet sized smoky gwindels we have ever had!

 

Several dozen quartz crystals on matrix forming a specimen of great aesthetics and quality.

 

While smokey quartz is very common from the Val Giuv area this crystal comes from the Frunthorn area in Graubünden. It has a very good brownish-red color and a very good shape all around. Most of the bottom is recristalized again.

 

This is a very large closed gwindel resting on some smaller regular quartz crystals. The bottom side is fully crystallized. Great condition and shape!

 

Very fine and large single half-closed, half-open gwindel. The front side is in perfect condition, there is just one small spot of damage on the back. The bottom side is crystallized and has a little bit of matrix attached. Comes with an old collection label. Great colour and transparency!
