About this specimen
One pale sea-green crystal, blocky and near-cubic in outline, sits on a crust of minute white druse that in turn caps a knot of steel-grey metallic crystals. The green is soft and even, deepening slightly toward the shadowed left face, and the faces themselves are flat and glassy rather than frosted, with fine stepped growth lines visible where two of them meet.
Quartz belongs to the trigonal system and has no business looking cubic at all. The pseudocubic habit appears when rhombohedral faces develop at nearly equal rates and the prism is suppressed, leaving a crystal that apes a symmetry it does not possess. Yaogangxian, in Chenzhou, is a tungsten mine, and its quartz commonly grows in the same cavities as the sulphides darkening the base here. At Mohs 7 the crystal itself is durable; the druse below is the fragile part.
3.8 × 3.3 × 3.0 cm, 31 g, seated on putty atop a clear acrylic cube. Photographed exactly as it will arrive.
