QUARTZ CRYSTALS
Arkansas, U.S.A.
Quartz naturally forms six-sided crystals with pyramid-like ends called ‘terminations’. Transparent crystals of pure quartz are known as ‘rock crystal’.
The quartz crystals from Arkansas are known for their beauty and clarity. They occur lining veins in 450 million year old sandstone.
A very good specimen, with only very slight damage to the main crystal termination (see photo).
