This carved Smoky Quartz Mushroom combines natural mineral beauty with detailed craftsmanship. Smoky quartz is a variety of quartz crystal formed under natural radiation, which gives it its distinctive gray to brown coloring. The mushroom shape highlights the crystal's internal structure and transparency, making it an eye-catching addition to any mineral or geology collection.
Naturally Occurring Mineral: Smoky quartz gets its color from exposure to natural radiation in the Earth, typically from nearby uranium or thorium deposits.
Crystal Structure: Composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂), smoky quartz belongs to the trigonal crystal system, and is prized for its clarity and luster.
Hand-Carved Design: This sculpted mushroom form offers a unique way to observe the mineral's light refraction, zoning, and inclusions.
Display-Ready: This piece is ideal for display in a rock, mineral, or natural history collection.
