Rough and polished colourless quartz in various formations. Individually chosen, carefully photographed.
In its purest form quartz is colourless and often transparent. However, inclusions, such as tiny bubbles, other minerals, or fractures can cause the crystal to become translucent instead of transparent.
Quartz that's colourless and transparent or translucent is also known as rock crystal.
The colour in varieties such as rose quartz, chrysoprase, and amethyst comes from impurities of other minerals.
Quartz which is one of the world's most abundant minerals, can be found in almost every geological environment.
