| Reviews |
The every day mineral quartz can be found all over the world. It takes a long time to form. Over millions of years, a growing quartz crystal sometimes incorporates other minerals that develop simultaneously, thus forming so called inclusions.
This book presents photos of fascinating inclusions in quartz, often beautiful like a dream. It wants to give you an idea of the fantastic inner life of quartz crystals and might also be an animation for your own engagement with this phenomenon.
The every day mineral quartz so gets a whole new perspective.
