This glassy Himalayan Quartz point features incredible glass-like optical clarity, allowing you to see straight through the crystal! Its long, slender formation shows beautiful natural growth lines and internal details, with a delicate spray of golden rutile needles tucked near the base.

A layer of earthy green chlorite along the lower portion adds a beautiful contrast to the crystal’s exceptional transparency. The combination of optical clarity, golden rutile, and green chlorite makes this an absolutely stunning Himalayan specimen!

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.
