Unique Quartz Cluster - Any Info?
« on: December 30, 2017, 09:04:38 PM »

Can someone help with identification and more information? I recently purchased this beautiful crystal. The person I purchased from wasn't extremely helpful in telling us much about it, and I can't find really anything online that looks similar. The person said that it was from Mongolia, and he said the closest name for it would be an elestial green quartz cluster. He had a bunch of individual ones, but this was the biggest cluster. I don't know, there has to be more information about these and where they are from.
Thanks.

That is lovely! Are you sure this wasn’t lab created? I have been seeing quite a bit of nice material lately that I can’t identify and am wondering how much of it is really earth mined.

Actually someone on a Facebook rock and stone identification group id'd it for me. It's called Cumberland habit quartz with actinolite or hendenbergite inclusion from Huanggang mine, Inner Mongolia, China. Some dealers call this beta-quartz or high-quartz, but it's cumberland habit. Thanks for the compliment.
