Chamosite included Quartz

This specimen showcases a single quartz crystal with an unusual termination, possibly resulting from a break and subsequent healing or malformation due to the rich chamosite inclusions. The entire crystal is covered in reticulated faces, producing striking flashes when rotated. Its deep forest-green hue makes it a standout example from the Highway 55 roadcuts near Richmond, Quebec. Collected in the 1980s, this locality has been closed to collecting for many years, making this piece a rare find.
