2.5" Faden Quartz Cluster - Pakistan

Faden quartz 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 of parallel faden quartz crystals seen in the majority of our listed specimens.
