The top of this specimen is a smoky quartz cluster, perched on an aggregate of black tourmaline and irregular shards of smoky quartz, coated in hyalite. The largest smoky quartz crystal in this cluster is 3" with lighter color, good clarity, and a faint phantom. The black tourmaline (schorl) is mostly poorly developed, but there is one small well-formed crystal nestled in the smoky quartz crystal, featuring the classic trigonal 'Mercedes' termination characteristic of Erongo material.

Smoky quartz from the Erongo region is typically a quite dark brown-black color, with lower clarity due to natural inclusions, and a flat surface luster caused by etching. It grows sculptural elongated and angular points with nice striations.

Smoky quartz gets its dark coloration from trace elements that tint dark when the quartz is exposed to natural radiation. Don’t worry, the specimen can't expose you to radiation—even if the hyalite turns "radioactive" green under UV light due to trace elements of uranium.

Hyalite is a form of opal, which in turn is part of the broader quartz family. Related minerals commonly grow together because they have similar requirements for growth: in this case, the availability of silica that is the basis for the quartz family. Growing conditions that initially produced quartz changed, and a later generation of growth deposited the less common hyalite on the specimen.

Hyalite displays botryoidal growth (bunches of “grape-like” round crystals) with a glossy high luster like a layer of bubbles. I think it looks like mermaid caviar! Hyalite can appear fluid with formations that look like the splash from a drip frozen in place, or as if the edge has been peeled up away from the quartz like a tutu. The hyalite on this specimen may be "hidden" on the bottom, but it is lush with very clear large botryoidal hyalite. There are two spheres that are white at the center like snowballs trapped in the hyalite.

UV reactivity Hyalite is so strongly UV reactive that you can see it in sunlight. Under indoor lighting it is pale yellow to golden in color, but turns visibly greenish yellow when exposed to the UV in sunlight. 395nm UV fluoresces a strong green, with an icy blue undertone. Best viewed in darker conditions. 365nm UV fluoresces a strong yellowish-green color, generally visible even in bright lighting. No phosphorescence detected.

Loose piece: There is a shard of smoky quartz on the underside that is loose and will move around (you may hear a faint 'tink' sound like porcelain!). It is firmly wedged between crystals and doesn't seem in danger of falling out.

Warm and comfy thermal wear
Size: Small, Color: Navy
They are very soft, don't ride up. Clothes do not stick to them like other thermals do. The fit is perfect. They are warm and comfy. The quality is good, too.

Perfect
Size: Large, Color: Navy
Oooooo these are so nice and soft and so warm! I am a nurse and work in an old hospital that is getting remodeled and there have been days we haven’t had heat and I have been very happy that I purchased these. My scrubs glide very nicely over these and don’t add any bulk. Definitely worth every penny! The fit is spot on and they wash up really well.

Warm and Comfortable for Everyday Wear
Size: XX-Large, Color: Light Grey
This thermal set is really comfortable and does a good job keeping you warm in colder weather. The fleece lining is soft and cozy without feeling too heavy, and it works well as a base layer under regular clothes. The fit is true to size with a nice amount of stretch, so it is easy to move around in and does not feel restrictive. It is also lightweight enough to wear throughout the day. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that it could be a little thicker for extremely cold temperatures, but it still works well for most everyday use. Overall, this is a solid and comfortable thermal set that is great for layering and staying warm. I would recommend it.
