This displays an excellent form of sharp well terminated translucent quartz crystals jutting at acute angles to one another. The crystals seem to spring from a base of sulfides consisting primarily of metallic arsenopyrite.

Quartz from Yaogangxian Mine, China
from the Yaogangxian Mine is rarely collected as an isolated species in the way one might pursue Alpine gwindels or Arkansas plates. Its power is as the luminous architecture of a complex tungsten-tin hydrothermal system: glassy points spearing through metallic bournonite, milky to water-clear groups carrying purple fluorite cubes, quartz prisms dusted with pyrite or arsenopyrite, and sharp crystals acting as the pale stage on which scheelite, muscovite, dolomite, calcite, stibnite, stannite, rhodochrosite, and chlorite play out one of China’s great specimen assemblages.
