16thC Medieval Byzantine Constantinople Turkey Europe Silver Quartz Crystal Sz8½

Smoky quartz is brown, transparent quartz that is popular for large and unusual faceted crystals. Tiger's-eye quartz contains brown iron which produces its golden-yellow color. Cabochon cut stones of this variety show the chatoyancy (small ray of light on the surface) that resembles the feline eye of a tiger, and have been enormously popular in various Asian cultures for thousands of years.
