Quartz xls (Japan-law twins), Rosterite (Tourmaline); Childs-Aldwinkle Mine, AZ, USA; 1 half size flat; unique (53)
Quartz (Japan-law twins) and Rosterite (Tourmaline) crystals from Childs-Aldwinkle Mine, AZ, USA. 1 unique flat for mineral collectors.
This special flat features rare Quartz crystals in the classic Japan-law twin habit, combined with fine Rosterite crystals (a Tourmaline variety) from the Childs-Aldwinkle Mine in Arizona, USA. This locality is renowned for its mineral diversity and offers outstanding Quartz structures and attractive Tourmalines.
Japan-law twins are characterized by a flat intergrowth of two Quartz crystals at an angle of approximately 84°—a fascinating twinning formation observed at only a few localities. The Rosterite crystals complement the ensemble with their slender, glassy appearance and greenish-brown coloration, forming a striking contrast.
This flat is ideal for systematic collections, display cabinets, or as a reference for crystal twinning and Tourmaline varieties. The combination of two rare and well-formed minerals makes this unique item an appealing acquisition for discerning mineral collectors.
The flat shown is exactly the one being offered.
