'string'; in quartz it refers to a milky, bubbly line
formed during crystal growth while slowly being pulled
apart as opposite edges retreat. This particular faden
quartz appears to have two, roughly perpendicular faden
lines - one strong and the other faint - quite uncommon.
The highly transparent and nicely glassy crystal is also
flat and tabular; a style sometimes called a 'tabby'. A
few chips and contact points are noted.
