This is Lightning Strike Quartz. It was Scientifically proven by Luis Menenez that this is in fact struck by Lightning. It comes from Corinto, Brazil. It is also called "Design" Quartz by the Brazilians at times. The actual strike looks like a chiseled damage to the crystal that runs down the side, and sometimes crosses over the C-axis of the crystals. From looking at the patterns on the sides carefully, I personally think that all of them are lightning influenced, whether they have a strike or not. I deduce this because many times the patterning on the sides leads directly into the actual "strike". The ones without "strikes" have a patterning similar that looks as if Lightning has influenced the growth of the last set of atoms, creating the intricate "design" that the Brazilians call it by. These are rather rare, and have come to market several times over the past few years.
Corinto is a prolific Quartz producing site in Minas Gerais, Brazil which produces quite a variety of distinguishing attributes. Most notable are the glyphs & markings on the sides of the crystals. Corinto produces more unusual side-patterning than any other location we have seen in the world! There is a particular find where there are orbs followed by streak lines that look like a meteor shower falling out of the sky.
