TC2240ETP: Quartz with inclusions, Calcite-Dolomite and Magnetite

Parallel doubly terminated growths of Quartz crystals with a dipyramidal shape, scepter terminations, and very rich in inclusions. With small Magnetite and Calcite-Dolomite crystals. Most of the Quartz crystals apparently lack prism faces, which has sometimes led to the erroneous belief that it is β-Quartz.

Specimen size: 10.6 × 4.7 × 2.1 cm = 4.17” × 1.85” × 0.83”

EV97AJ9: Quartz with inclusions, Calcite-Dolomite and Magnetite

Perhaps simply Quartz but it has a surprising variety of forms and morphological changes, with parallel growths on the scepter terminations, dipyramidal, with a short prism (in some cases those faces are nonexistent or poorly visible and such crystals have sometimes been erroneously described as β-Quartz). The Quartz group is very rich in inclusions and partially coated by small, white Calcite-Dolomite crystals.

EF97AA5: Quartz with inclusions, Calcite-Dolomite and Magnetite

Parallel growths of dipyramidal Quartz crystals with sceptered terminations, some of them doubly terminated.

SV3640EZT: Quartz with Quartz after Fluorite

An odd piece from Sidi Rahal: Large, with a pretty color and in good condition, with two peculiarities: small crystals that form elongated groups of stalactitic aspect, not much seen before in Sidi Rahal, and also, the presence of a pseudomorph of Quartz after a large Fluorite crystal. It does not stand out especially because it is on the side of the specimen and is very flat, but there it is. A double rarity from a locality that already had a tendency to yield peculiar quartzes.
