Mineral Identification & Scientific Details
Quartz is one of the most widely recognised minerals in the world, valued for its classic crystal structure and durability.
Mineral information:
-
Mineral Species: Quartz
-
Chemical Formula: SiO₂ (Silicon Dioxide)
-
Mineral Group: Silicate minerals
-
Crystal System: Trigonal (hexagonal family)
-
Mohs Hardness: 7
-
Lustre: Vitreous (glassy)
-
Transparency: Transparent to translucent
-
Colour Range: Clear, milky, or lightly clouded depending on inclusions
Quartz crystals commonly grow as six-sided prisms with pointed terminations, creating the iconic “crystal point” shape admired by collectors.
Himalayan Geological Origin
Himalayan quartz is sourced from the mountainous regions of northern India, an area shaped by immense tectonic forces over millions of years. Quartz crystals here typically form in:
-
Hydrothermal veins
-
Alpine-type fissures
-
Metamorphic rock cavities
Silica-rich fluids move through fractures in the rock, slowly cooling and allowing quartz crystals to develop over long geological timescales. The extreme pressures and conditions of the Himalayan uplift contribute to the formation of well-defined natural crystals.
Quartz from this region is often associated with minerals such as feldspar, mica, and calcite, reflecting the complex geology of the Himalayan mountain belt.
Natural Crystal Features & Collector Appeal
Himalayan quartz crystals are prized for their raw, untouched character. Specimens may show:
-
Naturally terminated points
-
Subtle growth striations along crystal faces
-
Internal inclusions or veils formed during crystallisation
-
Clear to slightly cloudy transparency
-
Multi-point or single-point formations depending on growth conditions
No two specimens are identical, making each crystal a one-of-a-kind example of natural mineral formation.
These are sold as natural mineral specimens, with no artificial colouring or enhancement applied.
Size Range & Display Uses (30–60mm)
With an approximate size of 30–60mm, these Himalayan quartz crystals are versatile and suitable for:
-
