Quartz ("Faden") (ex Obodda)

Item Description

Quartz is beloved for it thousands of habits found around the world. Some of the most distinctive Quartz specimens found in Alpine deposits are the attractive "Faden" crystal groups. This specimen shows the classic "Faden" (German word for string) form that are well known from this locality. The piece exhibits a very notable "Faden" that runs across the excellent, sharp, lustrous, colorless, GEM/gemmy crystals. The overall quality of the crystals on the Quartz is very good. These Pakistani pieces seemed to have dried up in recent years, and I personally think they are highly underappreciated for what they are. Virtually no damage. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock.
