Mineral: Quartz
Locality: Municipio La Belleza, Vélez Province, Santander Department, Colombia
Dimensions: 62 mm x 12 mm x 8 mm
Description: Single Quartz crystal with many horizontal striations that say us about its growing. (Nº-119).
It´s a prism consisting of alternating z and m faces.
It´s surely a Tessin habit sample and maybe a Muzo habit due to the cross section of the upper part, that is not perfectly triangular but it´s trapezoidal.
It´s a colombian´s friend gift who cames from Bucaramanga, the Santander Department capital.
