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

This insanely clear Himalayan Quartz has lots of natural “keys”, which are geometric indentations left by other quartz crystals that grew against it, and later popped off. Green chlorite and several smaller quartz points around the base give this piece even more aesthetics.

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.

Acrylic base not included.
