Quartz

Otome mining district, Miyamoto, Yamanashi Prefecture, Honshu, Japan

51.0 x 48.0 x 14.0 mm

This excellent example of Japan-law twinned Quartz is from the Otome mining district which produced the specimens where this twinning was first described. This is a very transparent crystal measuring 51 x 48 x 14 mm, and has high glassy luster and well-developed striations.  Only minor chipping. It is from the notable collections of Northland College (Ashland, Wisconsin), John Barlow and Gene la Berge. (Author: GneissWare)
