  abstract = {{T}here is growing interest in geochronological applications of terrestrial in situ-produced cosmogenic nuclides, with the most commonly measured being {B}e-10 and {A}l-26 in quartz. {T}o extract and then separate these radio-nuclides from quartz and prepare them in the oxide form suitable for accelerator mass spectrometry ({AMS}) requires extensive and careful laboratory processing. {H}ere we discuss the suitability of a crushed, sieved and etched, sub-aerially exposed vein quartz specimen ({C}o{Q}tz-{N}) to act as a reference material for chemical laboratory preparation and {AMS} measurements. {S}plits of {C}o{Q}tz-{N} were distributed to eleven target preparation laboratories. {T}he {C}o{Q}tz-{N} {B}e-10 targets were then measured at seven different {AMS} facilities and five of the preparation laboratories had their {A}l-26 targets measured at four different {AMS} facilities. {W}e show that {C}o{Q}tz-{N} splits are sufficiently homogeneous with regard to nuclide concentrations, that it has been cleaned of any atmospheric derived (i.e. meteoric) {B}e-10 and that it has low concentrations of the major elements that can interfere with {B}e and {A}l extraction chemistry and {AMS} measurements. {W}e derive preliminary concentrations for {B}e-10 and {A}l-26 in {C}o{Q}tz-{N} as 2.53 +/- 0.09 x 10(6) at/g and 15.6 +/- 1.6 x 10(6) at/g, respectively, at the 95% confidence limit.},
