I'm looking for more current information (in English, please) than "Dana's System of Mineralogy, Vol III" on the crystalography and morphology of Quartz.

Thanks,
Fred

"Crystal Habits of Minerals" (Kostov and Kostov) and "Crystals: Growth, Morphology and Perfection" (Sunagawa) both have sections on quartz. "Mineralogy for Amateurs" (Sinkankas) and "Introduction to Mineral Sciences" (Klein and Hurbut) are also very good references.

Another good book on quartz is the Mineralogical Society of Americas Reviews in Mineralogy Volume 29
(1994) SILICA: PHYSICAL BEHAVIOR, GEOCHEMISTRY, AND MATERIALS APPLICATIONS
P.J. Heaney, C.T. Prewitt and G.V. Gibbs, editors
