What is Zebradorite?
Zebradorite is found predominantly in granitic pegmatites. Its unique feature lies in the intergrowth of quartz and feldspar, which creates intricate patterns resembling runic or cuneiform writing. These patterns consist of darker and glassier quartz "characters" or "letters" set within a groundmass of white feldspar, typically microcline in nature.
