The locality is better known for its cobalt and nickel mineralisation, but it's also produced some excellent quartz, including beautifully formed crystals from the numbered vein systems around Aït Ahmane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt just over 7cm long, this is a lovely size for a free standing double terminated crystal. The quartz has a chunky, highly textured growth that leans towards a Jacaré style, with stepped secondary crystallisation. The lustre is excellent, and the slight frostiness actually makes the repeated growth patterns easier to enjoy i hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe crystallisation continues almost completely around the specimen, so there's very little sense of a conventional front and back. Both terminations are well developed, and the dense surface growth gives the piece a wonderfully tactile, almost sculpted appearance from every angle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Liminal Stone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52895513739396,"sku":"I-66","price":249.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/1815\/4628\/files\/D9E84E5E-FAA1-4CB3-BE61-0C355DEA17B9.jpg?v=1790218850","url":"https:\/\/www.theliminalstone.com\/products\/65-quartz-ait-ahmane-morocco","provider":"The Liminal Stone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
