Lemurian Quartz Cluster on Feldspar Matrix – Skardu Pakistan

Directly from the gem-rich mountains of Skardu, this 76g specimen features a group of Lemurian Quartz crystals in an aesthetic, divergent cluster. The primary crystals display the characteristic horizontal growth striations—often called "barcodes"—on alternating prism faces. These ridges are a natural record of the crystal's slow, rhythmic growth within the tectonic pockets of the Himalayas.

The quartz is elegantly hosted on a white Feldspar matrix, which provides a bright, opaque contrast to the water-clear transparency of the quartz points. The crystals exhibit a high-vitreous luster and sharp, undamaged terminations. At nearly 9cm in length, this piece offers a balanced "hand-sized" display that showcases the geometric perfection of Afghan and Pakistani mineralogy.
