These Jequitai quartz crystals are so distinctive and stunningly pretty. They are water-clear, and the faces alternate between absolutely glassy ones and faces with subtle horizontal striations that give them a silky look. As you can see, the faces alternately widen and narrow as the crystal tapers down towards the termination, and there are horizontal steppes where the narrowing occurs. Ex. Richard Hauck Collection.
