Smoky Quartz Ben a’ Bhuird, Cairngorm Mountains, Grampian Region, Scotland, UK 55mm x 24mm x 20mm 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)
