Lemurian Quartz Cluster on Feldspar Matrix – Skardu Pakistan

Directly from the gem-rich valleys of Skardu, this 207g specimen is a standout for its size and mineral association. The primary crystals exhibit the classic Lemurian habit, characterized by deep, horizontal growth striations—often called "barcodes"—along the prism faces. These ridges are nature’s record of the rhythmic growth cycles within the Himalayan tectonic plates.

What makes this piece truly remarkable is its presentation on a massive Feldspar matrix. The opaque, chalk-white feldspar provides a brilliant foundation that makes the water-clear quartz points "pop" with intensity. The cluster features multiple terminations growing at various angles, creating a complex, 360-degree display. This is a 100% natural, untreated specimen, showcasing the raw and powerful beauty of Pakistani mineralogy in a substantial cabinet format.
