Characteristics of Jinlong Crystals

 

  • Primary Mineral: Clear to lustrous quartz crystals. 
  • Distinctive Inclusions: Specularite (a glittering, platy variety of hematite) that grows inside the quartz or as "roses" on the exterior. 
  • Texture: Crystals often feature a significant dissolution surface, characterized by matte, etched, or complex faces rather than smooth, pristine points.
