These have double termination points much like their Herkimer NY cousins, but there is even so much more going on here! Petroleum Quartz is a very special, almost water clear type of quartz with hydrocarbon inclusions: Yellow-brown liquid petroleum, solid black carbon and sometimes even tiny methane bubbles. They also host black and brown Asphalite, the group name for bituminous hydrocarbons (aka crude oil) - calcium, iron, sulfur, and oxygen.
