Etched Lemurian Quartz Cluster on Matrix – Pakistan

Sourced from the high-altitude pegmatites of the Shigar Valley, this 60g cluster showcases the remarkable journey of Himalayan quartz. The crystals feature the iconic Lemurian habit, identified by deep horizontal striations (or "ladders") along the prism faces. However, what makes this specimen truly unique is the natural etching that has frosted and carved the crystal surfaces into a 3D topographic map of pits and ridges.

The cluster is naturally situated on its original matrix, giving it a wide, stable footprint of nearly 9 cm. The interaction between the water-clear interior of the quartz and the naturally matte, etched exterior creates a "frozen" look that catches the light beautifully. It is a 100% natural, untreated piece that represents the raw, rugged elegance of Pakistani mineralogy.
