BLACK MORION QUARTZ, BETA QUARTZ DRESS, RUSSIA Crystals on matrix - Height: 49 mm - Width: 39 mm- 69 g

Morion quartz is a rare and highly sought-after variety of smoky quartz that is nearly opaque black in color. The term "morion" traditionally refers to the darkest type of smoky quartz, often exhibiting a deep, rich black hue, which can resemble smoky glass or obsidian. Beta quartz describes a specific high-temperature polymorph of silica, notable for different crystal structures than ordinary quartz, which can be associated with unique physical properties. This particular specimen comes from Russia, a region known for diverse and high-quality mineral finds. Crystals on matrix indicate that these quartz crystals are naturally attached to their original rock substrate, which adds aesthetic and scientific value to the specimen. Morion quartz is popular among collectors and metaphysical enthusiasts, appreciated for its striking color and crystal transparency variations.
