Natural Points are one of the
many forms in which certain naturally occurring crystals / gemstones
/ minerals
are found and extracted from the earth.
Many people consider natural
points to be among the most beautiful and most interesting natural
crystal structures. One reason for this is that the shape of the points
is often
a magnified version of the micro-structure of the crystal itself and
so enables students and scientists to study and learn more about these
natural
wonders.
The crystalline
structures of natural points are generally formed in such dramatic
shapes as a result of the chemicals present
at
the time
of formation
(under particular physical conditions, e.g. of temperature
and pressure) adhering to each other as they join the growing structure
from surrounding gas / vapour when these gases have cooled or been
subjected to higher pressures within the earth.
