Spectacular Twin Quartz Crystal
A fascinatingly translucent, unpolished twin crystal from South Africa.
Crystals that grow together in this formation are known as twins. The process of 'twinning' occurs when two crystals grow from the same base, forming a unique and interconnected structure.
Twin crystals typically form under stress, often due to changes in temperature or pressure. To be classified as a twin, both crystals must share an identifiable relationship to each other.
For a rough, unpolished quartz crystal this piece is in excellent condition. To see a live shot of this quartz twin crystal, visit our Instagram page.
In crystal healing, if the two quartz crystals are of similar height, this formation is referred to as a tantric twin crystal.
