About the Item
The term “Dragon Scale Quartz” refers to a distinctive formation of smoky quartz crystals whose overlapping, double-terminated points resemble the scales of a dragon. This natural sculptural growth gives each specimen a unique, textured beauty and a sense of movement within the stone.
This exceptional piece from Missouri, USA, features a single, sharply terminated smoky quartz crystal emerging from its natural matrix, surrounded by goethite inclusions and coatings that extend across both the front and back of the specimen. The goethite creates a brilliant metallic iridescence, with shimmering hues that form a striking contrast against the smoky transparency of the quartz.
