Interesting Facts
Smoky quartz, a variety of macrocrystalline quartz, is known for its deep smoky tones and high clarity. Spodumene, a lithium aluminum silicate, is highly prized for its gemmy transparency and striated crystal habit—often forming in large, well-structured specimens. Spodumene serves as the base mineral for kunzite and hiddenite, making it a valuable collector’s mineral in its own right.
