Smoky Quartz
Aiguille du Moine, Mont-Blanc massif, France
127mm x 61mm x 53mm
Large smoky quartz crystal recovered from the back of a cleft in an old crystal cave, on the south face.
Though a little bashed on one face, the crystal is rather intact, with good lustre on four side faces (chlorite on the other two faces), and good lustre on the six pyramidal faces. The crystal is a very deep brown colour with good transparency, though with lots of internal flaws.
Collected 1991. (Author: Mike Wood)

Nice single crystal with good termination and a little bit of microcline included. My best specimen of smoky quartz from the Cairngorms. Doesn’t really compare with the ones from Arran. Collected from an in-situ pegmatite pocket 10m up a steep cliff-face. I traversed from the side to get to it, and plucked it from it’s resting place. (Author: Mike Wood)

Nice sturdy smoky quartz crystal; the termination is a little chewed up (as found) probably from ice-action in the cavity where it originated from. The crystal had actually ’migrated’ a short distance from the cavity and was wedged in a crevice. The crystal colour has lightened on one side due to exposure to the sky - best seen in the third photo. Self-collected. (Author: Mike Wood)

Specimen of euhedral smoky quartz crystal 6cm tall on chunky white albite (feldspar), with a little muscovite? mica. The smoky quartz is coated with a second generation of quartz, giving it a rough and more opaque appearance. This unfortunately is typical of many smoky quartzes from the Cairngorms, though they are more gemmy inside. Found 2003 from some old diggings on the north side of this mountain. (Author: Mike Wood)

Some Austrian localities (as Nassereith, Imst or Bleiberg) are known for wulfenites. However, the wulfies are found on the Bavarian side of the border too. A once famous locality was the Höllental molybdene mine near Garmisch-Partenkirchen. During Second World War the mine was taken up again for a short time. I never saw a real good Höllental sample (not on pictures, not in person...) but it is told that these wulfenites were as good as the Austrian ones from Bleiberg, Carinthia. The only sample I ever saw (thanks to ebay) is now in my collection. I think this specimen is just a reference (crystals up to 5 mm), but it gives a suspicion of the Höllental wulfenite´s quality... but you wouldn´t pick up something like this if it´s labelled with Mexiko or Arizona.
