Gemstone: Smoky Quartz - 5.70 Cts.
Spitzkopje, Namibia
10.89 x 9.07 mm

From Spitzkopje, Namibia, this 5.70-carat Smoky Quartz is cut in a multi-sided form with a distinctive, modified faceting arrangement. Pale smoky coloration shows a light, warm tone that allows the internal reflections to remain clearly visible. The facet pattern creates a central star-like effect, with reflections radiating outward in a structured, symmetrical design. Light moves evenly across the surface, producing a mix of soft flashes and broader areas of brightness. Minor internal features may be present but do not significantly affect the overall presentation. This is an appealing example, notable for its unusual cut and clean, balanced appearance.

Provenance: Ex. Private Fort Worth Collection
