Smokey Quartz
Pocket de Venancio
Govenador Valadares, Minas Geras, Brazil
8 x 17 inches 36.4 lbs.
Beautiful clarity and color distinguish this marvelous smoky quartz point. In February of 2000, excavators near Govenador Valadares, Brazil, who were searching for aquamarine crystals, found a thin area of stone while tunneling deep into a mountain. (Rudimentary local methods of searching for crystal-bearing cavities include tapping on the earth’s rocky surface to detect hollow chambers beneath which might yield the amethyst, citrine and aquamarine for which Minas Gerais is famous.) To the excavators’ astonishment, upon breaking through the surface, a treasure trove of immense smoky quartz crystals met their eyes. Dubbed the Pocket de Venancio crystals--the largest point of which was eight feet in height—the collection of smoky quartz represents a remarkable discovery. Thirty-eight pieces were removed from the cave by hand, with the use of chains and ropes, and carried down the mountainside. This piece represents one of the very few specimens of the original group available on the market.
