A fine faden quartz crystal showcasing exceptional glass-like clarity, brilliant vitreous luster, and an elegant elongated crystal habit. The characteristic white thread-like inclusion is beautifully preserved within the crystal, while the attractive side-growths enhance its natural aesthetics and visual appeal. With its sharp crystal faces and excellent overall condition, this specimen is a superb example of this fascinating quartz variety. Faden quartz takes its name from the German word faden, meaning “thread,” referring to the distinctive white thread-like line that formed as the crystal naturally healed and continued to grow after geological movement.
