2.7" Faden Quartz with Chlorite - Pakistan

This amazing faden quartz specimen displays a very small chlorite inclusion on each end, while containing liquid and gas scars throughout the entire specimen, leaving the quartz with thread like inclusions. This faden quartz crystal cluster contains three very large crystal terminations on one end, while exposing a mountain range of terminations on the opposite end.

Faden quartz with chlorite is typically found in mountainous regions. Quetta and Northern Pakistan produce the most well-known deposits of these beautiful specimens. These quartz formations occurs between cracks in a host rock. The cracks in the rock expand with the crystals, occasionally causing ruptures within the crystal from pressure. This causes the healing process to begin, giving rise to the branching off of parallel faden quartz crystals seen in the majority of our listed specimens.
