Quartz, also known as Rock Crystal, is further named after the growth types Phantom, Elestial, Double Terminated; locality Tibetan Black, Herkimer Diamond; inclusions Rutile, Tourmalinated; artificial coatings Aqua Aura, Opal Aura; and synthetic production Siberian Blue, Green; and that’s to name but a few (each has its own page).

Faden Quartz is the name given to the formation of included fibrous fuzzy white ‘threads’ within a Quartz crystal (often tabular). The fibres can be from a millimetre to 30 millimetres thick, and most often straight and perpendicular to the termination.
