6.2 x 2.2 x 1.9 cm. This is a bizarre quartz specimen. The familiar hexagonal form is expressed in dozens of stacked hexagonal disks that form a column. It is thought that these occur because of growth inhibition by calcite. Ex. Richard Hauck Collection.

5.9 x 5.9 x 3.9 cm. This is a New Hampshire old-timer. There is such a great balance between the smoky quartes (of fine quality) and sharp microcline crystals, which actually have the merest hint of blue to them. Ex. Richard Hauck Collection.
