Gwindels
A gwindel is a unique growth habit of quartz found only in Alpine-typical fissures. France, Italy, Russia, and most famously Switzerland are the most notable localities where gwindels are found. There are a handful of other localities but less than 12 countries in the world can boast their land has created one of these marvels.
