Summary

Description
English: This prospect is now a national park, and collecting is forbidden today - making it hard to obtain one for the new collector, to say the least. This is an older specimen from the collection of Marty Zinn, acquired long ago. It features an unusually well-balanced central crystal on matrix, with superb equant form in its dimensions. The crystal is totally gemmy, pristine, and incredibly sharply terminated. It has a sharp internal phantom, which is rare for this location. New Mexico smokies often are seen only in jumbly clusters, seldom with the overall quality and aesthetics of this particular specimen. Marty prided himself on his New Mexico suite, and I would say this is as good as any you could hope to own in this size range.
