Here only a few growth sites started, so each one had the silica supply largely to itself and had room to develop a full termination, the six-sided pyramid at the tip. That shape is not carved or encouraged. It is the natural expression of how quartz atoms stack, showing up whenever a crystal is left undisturbed long enough to finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe green is celadonite, the clay mineral that lines these cavities in the Brazilian basalt before the quartz arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eKeep it out of direct sunlight.
