Has anyone seen or have an example of bipymid quartz ?

I have just gotten a lead for some crystals here in Colo and really dont know what I will be looking for .

In geometry, the elongated hexagonal bipyramid is constructed by elongating a hexagonal bipyramid (by inserting a hexagonal prism between its congruent halves

Looked bipyramidal to be : two pyramids stuck together bottom to bottom. Looked like quartz, too. Don't know about geometry.

Finally got the camera and computer together and here is a pic of the bipymid quartz. Probably going there next week ( weather permitting ) and check it out . Hope it is good and in a location I can place a claim as it seems to be quite rare HOPE !

bipyramidal quartz crystals ("beta quartz"), collected where they weather out of porphyry between Frisco and Breckenridge, CO.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
