These Faden Quartz specimens from Pakistan feature distinctive white thread-like inclusions running through the crystal, known as the “faden” line. Each piece showcases unique internal structure and natural clarity, sourced from well-known mineral regions in Pakistan.
Key Features
Natural Faden Quartz from Pakistan
Visible internal “thread” formation
Clear to lightly included crystals
Formation
Faden Quartz forms in tectonically active environments where cracks repeatedly open and heal. During this process, a white line (the “faden”) develops as the crystal grows and reconnects, creating its signature internal thread.
