Etching in quartz crystals is a natural phenomenon that occurs when the crystals are exposed to different environmental factors, such as temperature, pressure, chemical reactions, or radiation. Etching can create various patterns or shapes on the surface of the quartz, such as triangles, circles, or lines.
