An outstanding example of "rock crystal" or colorless quartz. This specimen is, also, a great example of tabular quartz crystal development. In a majority of quartz crystals each of the 6 prism faces are roughly equal in size and distance from the "center" of the crystal. In tabular quartz crystals, 2 of the 6 prism faces are dramatically larger in size and the distance from the "center" of the crystal is different for the larger faces than it is for the 4 smaller faces. This specimen was found during the 2016 mining season at the Tole quartz deposit in northwest Pakistan. Dimensions (cm): 13.4 H x 10 W x 7.5 D. Location: Tole, Wana, South Waziristan, Federally Administered Tribal Areas, Pakistan Date: Location: Pakistan HWAC# 53058
