In contrast, white quartz crystals are nearly colorless to milky white and arise from gas inclusions or structural clouding in the crystal lattice. The combination of both varieties in one specimen makes the piece particularly visually varied and mineralogically interesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs This Hand Specimen Suitable as a Gift?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbsolutely – this prehnite-quartz hand specimen from Hubei, at 422 grams, is an impressive, unique natural piece that delights as a gift for mineral lovers, collectors, or spiritually interested people alike.
