Quartz var. Faden
Locality: Tole, Wana, South Waziristan District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, Pakistan
This beauty is unusual for faden quartz, with one large, semi-equant crystal dominating the piece, with a more “traditional” elongated faden with many complex terminations residing on its side.
Faden quartz is characterized by the “faden line” running through the crystals. The faden line can be in a single crystal, generally with a flattened or elongated form. This variety of quartz gets its name from the German word for string, “faden”, and is accordingly pronounced “fah-den”.
