Quartz is an extremely common mineral that comes in a large variety of colors and compositions.
List of Quartzes
| Rarity: | |
| Average value: | |
| Location: |
a piece of blue quartz
| Description: Several scratches mar the surface of the thumbnail-sized crystal, but the exquisite robin's-egg blue color shimmers past the damage wrought by time and poor treatment. |
| Rarity: | |
| Average value: | |
| Location: |
a piece of carnelian quartz
| Description: Shaped like a thick, faceted spear, a piece of carnelian quartz contains a cloudy galaxy of honey-gold tones floating within a clear, transparent solid. Darker needles angle through the crystal like schools of fish, and tiny black inclusions add visual weight to the base. |
| Rarity: | |
| Average value: | |
| Location: |
a piece of cat's eye quartz
| Description: Just barely visible in this roughly rounded crystal is a band of silver light that moves across the surface as the quartz is turned. The grey and black matrix has a fractured, chaotic appearance. |
| Rarity: | |
| Average value: | |
| Location: |
a piece of citrine quartz
| Description: Shaped like a tapered spear, a piece of citrine quartz has a delicate translucence and a slightly dulled luster. It is a warm lemon yellow with diffuse clouds of milky white near the base. |
| Rarity: | |
| Average value: | |
| Location: |
a piece of rose quartz
| Description: A cluster of lightly etched crystals make up a piece of rose quartz. The stone is a milky rose pink, with just enough translucence to catch the light. |
| Rarity: | |
| Average value: | |
| Location: |
a quartz crystal
| Description: Dozens of small, translucent quartz crystals cluster tightly together, their hard-edged surfaces bright with an almost greasy luster. Though cloudy white at the base, the crystals are perfectly transparent at the tips. |
| Rarity: | |
| Average value: | 900 |
| Location: |
a shard of rainbow quartz
| Description: From stem to stern, this triangular shard of quartz displays every color of the rainbow along its rough length. The surfaces are unpolished, but the changes of hue that proceed in wide, striped bands along its length that have a certain appeal despite the damaged state of the broken crystal. |
| Rarity: | |
| Average value: | |
| Location: | Zul Logoth |
a tangerine quartz
| Description: Several smaller crystals grow at odd angles from the larger, more tabular quartz crystal. The gorgeous vivid orange color of the tangerine quartz is not uniform, but fades into transparency at several points within the gem. |
