The Quartz family of Minerals presents one of the most interesting and useful studies in Mineralogy. The chemical formula of all members of the Quartz family is Silicon Dioxide, which constitutes 60% of the earths crust, with only a small amount of impurity, in many cases an iron oxide. Quartz produces Gemstones in a variety of colours, and the use of Quartz varies from native weapons to the finest of jewllery. This collection includes: Rock Crystal, Smokey Quartz, Amethyst, Milky Quartz, Green Aventurine, Rose Quartz, Citrine, Rutilated Quartz, Carnellian, Agate Slice, Moss Agate, Flint, Chert and Coloured Agate.

The set contains twenty distinctive specimens which illustrate the main types of structures known as mineral Aggregates. Samples provided show the various Aggregates, such as Columnar, Fibrous, Granular, etc. Supplied in a strong card box with plastic divisions.
