EISCO Milky Quartz Specimen (Mineral), Approx. 1" (3cm) - Pack of 12
Brand: EISCO
Quartz is one of the most abundant minerals on Earth. The tightly packed framework of silica tetrahedra that make up the quartz crystal give it a relatively high hardness of 7, a complete lack of cleavage planes, and a distinct euhedral crystal habit. This is a must-have mineral for any collection, and can be used to great effect in the classroom as well.
