Beta Quartz With Hematite // 1.90 Lb.

Beta quartz is a less common species of quartz and forms with a different crystal system than alpha quartz, which is the more garden variety phase of the silicate mineral. Beta quartz is stable at higher temperatures than alpha quartz. This particular specimen features hematite inclusions which bring a rich red pigmentation to the plate of lustrous, fully formed, translucent beta quartz crystals. A special find.
