A superb faden quartz crystal displaying exceptional glass-like clarity and brilliant vitreous luster. The prominent white thread-like inclusion is beautifully preserved within the crystal, creating the distinctive feature that makes this variety so highly sought after. Its well-defined crystal faces, attractive proportions, and excellent overall condition combine to create a striking display specimen with outstanding natural beauty. Faden quartz is named after the German word faden, meaning “thread,” referring to the characteristic white thread-like line formed as the crystal naturally healed and continued growing after geological movement.
