A slender and sharply defined example of Faden Quartz, this specimen displays the classic thread-like “faden” inclusion running along its length—a result of episodic crystal growth under tectonic stress. Sourced from alpine clefts in northern Pakistan, the piece illustrates the dynamic geological forces that shaped it over time.
With its narrow, elongated profile and excellent internal clarity, this quartz presents a refined crystallographic form. Mounted on a clear acrylic base, the structure is both supported and showcased in a minimalist, display-ready format.
Faden Quartz with linear internal “thread” characteristic of growth interruption
Transparent to translucent with clean edges and flattened crystal faces
Composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂), formed in alpine hydrothermal veins
Represents tectonically influenced crystal growth in dynamic geological settings
Approximate dimensions: 8 x 2 x 1 cm
Sourced from high-altitude mineral zones in northern Pakistan
Mounted on a minimalist acrylic base for optimal presentation
Ideal for collectors with an interest in structural crystal habits and rare alpine mineral formations.
