Oh wow! That's really cool. All I can think, and I'm probably wrong, is that the triangle is a mark left from when a tiny crystal broke off. ??

Looks like an imbedded formed perfect Isosceles triangle. Amazing.

See, it’s also raised.. everything about these pieces feel man made.. and they don’t scratch glass, and break against other quartz, also they are insistent there is only quartz there…

I honestly didn’t know that was an option!

Verrry interesting! Let us know what the university says about it. Take lots of pictures. Keep good notes.

Looks natural to me from the pics... especially the striations.
We find lots down South.

Quartz crystalizes in the hexagonal crystal system. On the side of the crystal you will note striations just above your finger nail, these are from the the atoms lining up and as it grows. The terminations at the ends which form the point will have a reflective surface and generally are flat but with a good reflection you can see how the surface is not truly flat(like a faceted stone) but is very similar to frost on a window. (this is how you can tell a polished quartz from a natural quartz. the triangle is a result of this same crystal growth atomic scale alignment
