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 line of crystals dominating the piece. All crystals (parts of the crystal) are fully terminated, with no contact points, making this a “floater”. All crystals have beautifully glass-clear tips transitioning to the milky “string” faden quartz is known for.
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: 3.80 cm
Width: 2.57 cm
Depth: 1.21 cm
