Locale: Gaumukh Mine, Manihar, Kullu District, Himachal Pradesh, India (Himalayas) 🇮🇳

This stunning Himalayan quartz has amazing clarity and gorgeous natural striations running across its surface. The main point is nicely formed with a sharp termination, while rich green chlorite inclusions are scattered throughout the lower portion. It also has delicate golden rutile inclusions inside and several smaller quartz crystals attached along the sides, giving it a really interesting formation. The way the light catches its glassy faces and fine growth lines makes this little cluster even more beautiful from different angles!

High-altitude Himalayan quartz is collected from remote mountain areas, often at elevations above 10,000 feet. Miners face challenging terrain, harsh weather, and difficult conditions to recover these beautiful crystals.
