Hollandite Quartz is an extremely rare formation of Quartz, most commonly originating from Madagascar. Hollandite is formed when deposits of Hollandite become trapped in the Quartz as it's forming. During this process, Hollandite is subjected to extremely high temperatures, causing it to burst into the star-like formations! This is an extremely rare formation of Quartz.

Hollandite Quartz was named after Sir Thomas Henry Holland (1868-1947), geologist, educator and Director of the Geological Survey of India.
