I am having some difficulty with:

11A Type of quartz crystal that has talen on the cubic form of fluorspar crystals by a process of substitution

43A Angle the needle of a compass makes with the horizontal plane.   A suggested answer of magnetic ??? does not fit, in my xword, with 45D which I believe to be Thalia; the c would be where the  of Thalia is.

5D Miguel de ? Basque writer etc.  I have U?A?U?O

18D Central Asian river.   The last letter is ?A, being the first letter of 38A, variously suggested as arbit, but might it be orbit or ambit?

 

Thoughts would be welcome.  To the person who asked about sending in the Xword;  I have sent it in four times, having finished it with everyone's help, but without result so far.
