Among the geological environments that produce the most beautiful quartz crystals are alpine-type fissures, also called alpine-type clefts.
Alpine-type fissures are cavities that have opened during tectonically caused stretching and bending of the rock.
The cavities are entirely enclosed by the surrounding host rock.
Many of them contain minerals in excellent crystals, and certain parageneses are typical for alpine-type fissures. Nice example of this kind of alpine quartz.
