This is not your Mama's crystal... it's a quartz cluster!
Straight from the Crystal Earth Rock Shop this quartz crystal cluster was mined at Jim Coleman Mine or Miller Mountain in Mount Ida, Arkansas.
A quartz crystal begins with a seed of one silicon atom and two oxygen atoms. With the right amount of heat and pressure this seed starts to grow by replicating itself in a network of structure, known as a crystal lattice. Over time a piece of pure transparent quartz crystal is formed. In its natural state the crystal is angular in shape, always with six sides, tapering at the end to a point or termination. The tapered sides are known as facets or faces. One of these facets or faces will be larger than the others and is referred to as the main facet or face. A cluster is a group of crystals that are physically attached to each other on a matrix or floating free. The crystals can be single or double terminated or combinations of both.
