Quartz var. Faden, Pakistan
Quartz var. Faden
Locality: Tole, Wana, South Waziristan District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, Pakistan
This beauty is a great example of faden quartz, with one large, incredibly glass-clear elongated crystal dominating the piece, along with a few smaller crystals connected. The faden line is connecting all the segments of the main crystal, illustrating just why the faden got its name.
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”.
Dimensions:
Height: 7.21 cm
Width: 2.55 cm
Depth: 1.42 cm
