Quartz – we all know all about quartz. Right??? Quartz if crystallized is probably commonly found as prismatic, horizontially striated crystals in matrix, occasionally doubley terminated. Quartz is a member of the hexagonal crystal system and therefore when looking down on the crystal from above, one sees the six sided hexagonal structure. How about cubic quartz????? More later as I obtain further information from a serious field collector of the Santa Monica Mountains, California. Rod
