Quartz \"interference\" crystal (Ref: 22.1-137)
Dalnegorsk, Kavalerovo Mining District, Primorsky Kray, Russia
93mm x 27mm x 26mm
A perfect example of so called interference Quartz. For any Quartz suite this is a fine, exotic and strange form. From Dalnegorsk a few years ago this came from a small find and this was one of the largest crystals and one of the very few that were complete and undamaged. It seems that in this location at least as the Quartz grew it had a series of thin Calcite blades on each side. The Calcite has since dissolved away but had an impact on the crystal development. The result is a remarkable stepped form in an inclined series of ridges. Unusual and certainly esthetic in a strange way!From: Well-Arranged Molecules
