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.

 

The flat shown in the pictures will be shipped with the corresponding box and, if applicable, folding boxes. These may be partially used, show signs of wear, and have multiple labels or markings.
