This gorgeous Himalayan Quartz has amazing clarity, with beautiful sprays of golden rutile needles near the tip and natural green chlorite inclusions adding a lovely touch of color. There's also a large, beautiful internal rainbow that catches the light! Such a special piece with so many little details to admire.

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.
