SMOKE QUARTZ level - partly coated with CALCITE.
As a rule, the CALCITE is etched away with diluted hydrochloric acid. However, this stage is "mountain fresh" NOT cleaned and is therefore completely natural.
Himalayan rock crystal and smoky quartz specimens are alpine-typical, i.e. the structure and paragenesis are almost identical to specimens from the ALPS.
The site was the SHIGAR valley in HIMALYA
