NOTE
A mysterious Miyazaki crystal with a silky texture and distinct ledges.
This quartz comes from Iwato, Takachiho, and is known as Takachiho Iwato Quartz.
Chlorite inclusions can be seen within the cluster and the crystal, making it a chlorite-in-quartz specimen.
Its form resembles a battleship, with a slightly curved growth characteristic of bent quartz.
There are many penetrations, which may be a common feature of Takachiho quartz.
Depressions at the edges of the prism faces are also penetrations.
Clusters growing from the matrix form natural bridges throughout the piece.
Japanese quartz is usually small and opaque, but this piece stands out for its size and clarity.
A pillar of light appears inside, reminiscent of a Devic Temple crystal.
Crystals with strong messages often have many elements.
