Fascinating combo piece, with a grouping of smoky quartz crystals grown right atop a large crystal of spodumene var. triphane! The triphane has a vivid yellow-green coloration with sharp terminations, and the quartz has such high clarity in places that it allows one to see the triphane right behind it! It can be well displayed from every angle, and is a marvelous example of a unique combination that is normally seen in much lower quality. This comes from a lesser known locality, for which Mindat doesn't even have any photos listed.
