Description: Presumed albite/quartz Ganesh Himal, Dhading District, Bagmati Zone, Nepal crystal size: 8,1 x 4,3 x 1,3 cm Photo & collection: Eric Manandhar To my understanding, this is a view from c axis (almost). Look at the narrow face below with a sharp edge. Could be a prism face, edges are parallel, but angles with faces at right and left are never described in quartz (I think). If it is quartz, largest face and shiny faces should be piramidal termination faces, but they are striated ...never seen in quartz.
