Quartz hexagonal prisms. Plenty of them.

I know quartz is one of the most common minerals but I don't know how common these are. In the same arrowhead seach area in Granville County NC are plenty of these hexagonal quartz pieces. They range in sizes from under 1/2 inch across to over 2 inches. While most are rather rough and a little cloudy on the outside, some are nearly clear as glass.

Hey Mike, You have a nice collection of quartz crystals. Do you find these on Native American sites or just in the same general area?

[Mmerc20]

Just the same general area. In various fields when looking for arrowheads.

Hello Mike,

That is so cool. I live and collect in North Carolina but don't find any in the SE part of the State.

Those are very nice crystals Have you ever tried looking at them with a back light? Out here we find some small ones in the lake and I hear some glow. I have not found a glowing one yet but hope to.
