Japan-law twin in smokey quartz, 4 cm. Mina Tiro Estrella, El Capitan Mountains, Lincoln County, New Mexico, USA.

Ex Richard Hauck, Ex Rob Lavinsky. Lavinsky's comments were as follows: "Collected by Dick Jones over 30 years ago, these smoky twins remain one of the most impossible-to-obtain of all American finds, notable for their aesthetics, unique form and style, and sheer rarity. This is an outstanding miniature , with brilliant lustre, gemminess, and elegant chevron patterns that reflect light from many more angles than you would think - making the whole crystal more bright and noticeable. I have seen only a few of these for sale in the last decade, and none of this size which I liked so much. Hauck obtained this directly from Dick after he found it (label is here to prove it), and the piece has remained there for a LOOOONG time now!"
