Description

This is a rare sample of quartz var capped quartz (german "Kappenquarz"): Crystals that are made of loosely connected or easily separable parts. This is caused by the deposition of thin continuous layers of e.g. clay minerals on the crystal during growth. The typical result is a crystal tip that can be taken off of the crystal and that is shaped like a little cap.

A fine and descriptive example for this rare quartz variety.
Comes with Krantz label dated to the 50's or 60's.
