Quartz "Faden" (Ref: QUARTZ11)
Dara Ismael Khan District, Waziristan, Pakistan
70mm x 55mm x 40mm
$125
I recently got this as part of a collection from the man who originally "found," this deposit in Pakistan about 11 years ago. He had a nice stash of unique pieces. This crystal group is really unusual because it exhibits both the tabular form right alongside a conventional prismatic Quartz crystal. The white center "line" down the center of the tabular crystal is called a Faden (in German this means "thread") it is the central line of growth that the crystal grows outward from. this piece sits nicely by itself and has unique character.Data last checked on 2nd Nov 2025
