These rock crystals are from Gouveia, about 30 km south of Diamantina, Minas Gerais. As you can tell from the name of the district capital, this is also one of Brazil's diamond mining areas. There is a very faint phantom in the large central crystal. Alarge crystal from Corinto, Minas Gerais, about 180 km north of Belo Horizonte. It has grown on a ...
Clearrock crystals on hematite roses, Daya, Ganzhou, Jianxi Province. Many "cuts" run through the crystals, traces of hematite roses that hindered the growth of the quartz and that disappeared later. In the central right part of the image you can see small pieces of hematite that are still present in the crystals.
Thesesmall rock crystals from the Piesberg mountain near Osnabrück, Lower Saxony, qualify as needle quartz. They are from a quarry in sedimentary rocks from the carbon ages, a location that is actually more known for its plant fossils. Many of the perfectly clear crystals have developed a Dauphiné habit, which is a bit unusual for quartz from sedim...
Agroup of clear rock crystals from the Kullu Valley, Himachal Pradesh. The Himalaya has just recently been discovered as a source of excellent rock crystals. Lots of material comes from alpine-type fissures in gneisses and metamorphosed schists of the Ganesh Himal region north of Kathmandu in Nepal, but rock crystal can apparently be found along th...
Rockcrystals from Amputofiamendia in Madagascar with unusually large bipyramidal diamond-shaped s-faces. Similar to the specimen from Antsirabé, there is still a lot of a reddish, very sticky powder attached to it, something that you can see at many rock crystals from Madagascar.
A groupof Dauphiné habit rock crystals from the same alpine-type fissure at the Halsensee as the previous specimen. The crystals are clear and colorless but covered by a thin yellow coating of iron oxides and hydroxides that has intentionally been left on the specimen. Such a yellow is very common on rock crystals from many different environments, ...
Herkimerin New York State, and the Ouachita Mountainsin Arkansas. Thesecrystals grew in a small geode in basalt in the Mopah Range inside the Turtle Mountain Wilderness, Southern California, and rock crystals like these are not what you would expect in a volcanic rock. The geode wall is made of calcite. Most of the crystals are scepter quartzes, bu...
