Two glassy deep smoky but partly transparent quartz gwindels set on matrix. The main gwindel measures 5.5 cm across. Complete all around and measures 8.5 x 5.5 x 5.0 cm in size. Sparse tiny micro-chipping is present on the upper edge of the main gwindel. I did not see this until I louped it. I think the piece is in excellent condition. Choice Alpine classic!
