This gwindel comes from Galmihorn, a Swiss site known for producing very good smoky quartz. It is a half-open, half-closed gwindel, a very rare form. The piece has a slightly smoky coloration combined with very good transparency. The crystal surfaces are highly lustrous and dusted with chlorite here and there. The rotation of the gwindel is wonderfully visible.
