Can you help make this a better article? What good localities have we missed? Can you supply pictures of better specimens than those we show here? Can you give us more and better information about the specimens from these localities? Can you supply better geological or historical information on these localities?

Here will go a good picture of a quartz specimen from China and general remarks about the quartz from this country.


Here are some url's to some of the better quartz specimens here on mindat that can be considered for inclusion in the article. These, in mosc cases are just for temporairy use untill we can get images of the much better specimens that are almost certainly out there. We should also consider that there are probably localities out there with fine specimens that are not even mentioned on mindat. Also in some instances there are sometimes pictures on mindat, of specimens from a locality, but they were so ratty that I did not include them here, but there may also be relly good specimens from there that we should talk about in this article.

The locality is already listed above, but maybe is the picture useful.

Mario, Thats a very nice picture we may use it. It turns out that good pictures are often not the problem, but rather the short supply about knowledgeable people to write about the specimens from a particular locality, their geological setting and their history. Can you help us with this locality?

Hi Rock,

I can not realy help you with information for an article about this locality, sorry for this.
I only have some background information about this specimen but nothing that could be of interest in an article on the locality.

Regards,
Mario Pauwels
