This small Himalayan Quartz features exceptional, glass-like optical clarity with beautiful green chlorite inclusions. Its incredibly transparent faces allow you to see deep into the crystal, revealing intricate internal growth patterns and gorgeous natural rainbows that flash with color when they catch the light.

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.

Please note: This is a completely natural, unpolished mineral specimen. Any natural growth patterns, inclusions, contact points, or minor imperfections are part of its unique character. Please review all photos and videos carefully, as they are considered part of the description. You will receive the exact specimen pictured.
