Locality: Mina Tiro Estrella, Capitan Mountains, New Mexico, USA
Description: A lustrous and sharp Japan Law Twin smoky quartz from New Mexico. Gemmy, well-terminated, and perched on a bit of matrix. There is a single millimeter ding to an edge that is not distracting and a small impression on one side. World class specimens were produced from this locality in 1979.
