This beautiful high-altitude Quartz from the Himalayan Mountains has amazing clarity, lovely green Chlorite inclusions, and delicate golden Rutile sprays inside. The smaller crystal formations along the side add even more charm to this special piece!

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.

Natural specimens may have fractures, stress marks, healed cracks, growth contacts, or pits. Colors may vary depending on lighting and screen settings. Please review all photos and videos carefully, as you will receive the exact piece shown.
