Quartz xls (Japan-law twins); Childs-Aldwinkle Mine, AZ, USA; 1 flat; unique (38)

Quartz crystals (Japan-law twins) from the Childs-Aldwinkle Mine, AZ, USA. 1 unique flat for mineral collectors.

This exceptional flat comes from the Childs-Aldwinkle Mine in Arizona, USA, and features rare quartz crystals exhibiting Japan-law twins. These distinctive twinned formations are among the most visually striking habits of quartz and are highly sought after by collectors worldwide – especially when found in well-developed specimens such as these.

The characteristic V-shaped junction, with an angle of nearly 84°, gives these crystals their signature appearance. This form results from a unique crystallographic orientation occurring only under specific geological conditions. Localities like the Childs-Aldwinkle Mine are therefore of special interest to collectors of twinned and morphologically unusual crystals.

The flat contains several such Japan-law twins, some loose and some on matrix, offering clarity, sharp form, and excellent collector quality. Located in Gleeson, Cochise County, the mine is also known for its secondary copper and lead minerals.

A true one-of-a-kind flat for collectors focused on crystal twinning, quartz habits, and U.S. mineral localities. The flat shown is exactly the one offered.
