Smokey from mooralla

[steveo]

Do any of you have some pictures of faceted Smokey quartz from mooralla? Got some nice rough from The Rock Hunter and getting ready to facet some, they have something going on inside that could be cool. They are great specimens but not exactly rutilated.

Hi Steveo  Mooralla smokeys are not for facetting. They are really only specimens and the inside is rather flawed, infact some specimens have air bubbles in them like a spirit level. However, I have found the rare crystal that has only got a faint cloudiness in it and no fracture lines inside. These I feel could possibly be faceted. If you pm me an address I will see if I still have some and post them to you.   Regards  Alleycat

Thanks for the offer, they are full of stuff I see now, did get some nice specimens from the rock hunter. To much trouble to post over here and got a few smokeys at our show last weekend.
