Dimensions: 1.4 x 1 x .9”
Locale: Gaumukh Mine, Manihar, Kullu District, Himachal Pradesh, India (Himalayas) 

This beautiful little Himalayan Quartz cluster features two double-terminated points that cross over each other, creating a really unique formation! Both crystals have amazing clarity with green chlorite inclusions inside, while tiny anatase crystals add interesting details to their surfaces. The two main points sit on a bed of tiny quartz crystals, giving the whole piece a lovely, natural look. It's a small specimen, but there's so much going on, especially with the combination of clear quartz, green chlorite, and anatase!

What makes Himalayan Quartz even more remarkable is the journey these crystals take before reaching collectors. Recovered from elevations exceeding 10,000 feet, these specimens come from some of the most rugged and unforgiving mountain environments in the world. The steep terrain, unpredictable weather, thin mountain air, and remote locations make extraction incredibly challenging and, at times, dangerous. Each specimen is a beautiful reminder of both the incredible forces of nature and the extraordinary effort required to bring these treasures down from the mountains.
