Quartz - faden with bend and twist (Ref: 16.1-303)

Waziristan Ophiolite, North Waziristan, FATA Federally Administered Tribal Areas, Pakistan
89mm x 36mm x 31mm
minID: LNE-HWE
A really extraordinary Quartz. Faden Quartz is well-known as being found in distorted, flattened and elongated crystals, always with the internal "string" or line inside. This piece has all that in elegant gem clear crystals in a series of chains and clusters, but in addition it also has a remarkable bend with a slight twist. We have handled many great Fadens from the Waziristan finds but this is the only piece that has this remarkable form. This is nearly all Quartz, with just a sliver of matrix and is in fine condition, one edge contact is seen with magnification, this display incredibly well. A super addition for any Quartz suite or collection, this is especially impressive in person.
