Naru is almost the most westerly island in the complex archipelago which forms Japan. This locality has become famous for its variety of twinned Quartz crystals and this is a great example of a Japan Law twin. Erroneously, Naru island is often quoted as the type locality for the Japan Law habit, but this is not the case. The Japan Law form is where a twinned Quartz crystal bifurcates at what appears as 90' but is actually 84' 33'. This clear, colourless twin is formed from a pair of flattened Quartz crystals, averaging about 2 mm thick and up to 1.6 cm wide. This great little specimen comes which a now historic Lawrence H. Conklin (New York) printed label.
