Natural Quartz
Quartz is valued for size, clarity and crystal form rather than rarity. For specimens, an undamaged termination and good matrix presentation matter more than weight.

Common questions
What makes a good clear quartz specimen?
An undamaged point, good transparency, and an attractive relationship between crystal and matrix. Chips on the termination reduce value sharply even on large pieces.
Is smoky quartz irradiated?
Some is. Natural smoky quartz forms through geological irradiation of aluminium-bearing quartz over millions of years; commercial treatment simply accelerates the same process, and the result is stable and safe.
Why is quartz used in so many crystal practices?
It is abundant, forms in clear well-terminated crystals, is hard enough to handle daily, and is inexpensive at collector sizes, a rare combination that made it the default working stone.
