A superb faden quartz crystal featuring an elegant, sculptural crystal habit with exceptional glass-like clarity and brilliant vitreous luster. The distinctive white thread-like inclusion is beautifully preserved through the crystal, highlighting the unique growth process that defines this remarkable variety of quartz. Its sharp crystal faces, graceful form, and excellent overall condition make it a striking and highly collectible display specimen. Faden quartz takes its name from the German word faden, meaning “thread,” referring to the characteristic white thread-like line that formed as the crystal naturally healed and continued growing after geological movement.
