Smokey Quartz cluster on Microcline with a terminated green Tourmaline crystal projecting out near the base of the Quartz. The Quartz have an unusual and intersting 'spotted' appearance due to radiation halos from Uranomicrolite. There are also Tourmaline included within the Quartz. Ex. Cal Graeber collection with his number on back.  Cal used to work with Bill Larson when he owned the mine and is a true San diego county expert.  The fact that he kept this specimen in his collection speaks for it's rarity and quality. Valued at $450 in my regular website galleries.
