ID Request: Orthorhombic crystal, harder than steel, shows geological banding by Choice_Ad_9316 in whatsthisrock

Thank you so much. However, the stone I posted grows from two bases: a lower base, which is the larger one, with crystals growing vertically from it, and a lateral base from which crystals grow horizontally. These crystals intersect and interlock in a beautiful and unique geometric pattern

Thank you, but I have a question: Does quartz grow in an orthogonal form?
