Raw Terminated Quartz Crystal with Inclusions on Black Background. A striking macro photograph of a single, raw, terminated quartz crystal, isolated against a solid black background. The crystal displays a classic hexagonal prism form ending in a natural point, though its top appears broken, revealing a glassy, conchoidal fracture. It is largely translucent, with cloudy internal veils and dark mineral inclusions suspended within its structure.What makes this specimen particularly interesting are the horizontal bands of a whitish, sandy-textured secondary mineral coating its faces, suggesting a complex growth history, possibly a "phantom" crystal. Tiny, vibrant yellow mineral specks are also visible on the surface. Photographed at the Chongqing Natural Resources Science Popularization Museum, this crystal is a testament to the diverse processes of mineral formation.Quartz (Silicon Dioxide) is a fundamental mineral used in electronics for its piezoelectric properties and in creating glass. In metaphysics, it is highly valued as a "master healer," associated with amplifying energy, clarity, and consciousness. This image is ideal for scientific, educational, or spiritual content.
