tracer Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 well, there are so many things that are quartz. i really like agate, amethyst and chalcedony, but we'll go for posting a couple of pics of our "field collection" that we never brought home, for fairly obvious reasons. also from arkansas - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darwin Ahoy Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Sticking purely to self-collected quartz, this one HAS quartz, and is the only quartz material that I actually have a picture of. It's everywhere in some places here, and I tend to leave it behind. This piece came out of the Upper New Street Quarry. The bottom half is quartz, with some balls of thompsonite, prehnite, and chabazite. The top half is datolite and heulandite. A closeup of the quartz, thompsonite, prehnite, and poorly-formed chabazite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdevey Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Here is a geode I found years ago and almost forgot about, till I was going through an old box of rocks, so I decided to clean it up.still needs a little work. And I havent found out what the name of the round tube like crystal stucture is yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plantguy Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Hey Trilobite guy and you all. Very nice variety of quartz stuff! Quite a versatile mineral. I've got an example from a Pliocene gravel deposit from Waldorf, Maryland that I found as a kid. Most of the sileceous gravel contained fragments of a variety of different Paleozoic invertebrates. In this pebble sized example you can see fine grained quartz lining the interior cross section of a brachiopod. I sprinkled a bit of water on the specimen to enhance it. I thought this might be a form of botryoidal quartz but I think I see facet "flashes" when I rotate it in bright light so maybe its not and they are just very tiny crystal faces. My old eyes and current hand lens technology cant do much more with it. I also have a piece of those Brazilan geodes with quartz crystals. I actually like the unpolished side showing the rough crystalline structure much better! Thanks for sharing all of the shots from your collections!
