This captivating miniature specimen features a delicate cluster of iridescent Quartz crystals, delicately adorned with subtle inclusions of Chlorite and hints of Pyrite, all hailing from the rugged, mineral-rich mountains of Pakistan.
The main attraction of this piece is the stunning iridescence that shimmers across the surfaces of the tiny quartz crystals, especially visible under direct light. This natural play of colors, reminiscent of a rainbow or oil on water, is caused by microscopic fractures or thin film inclusions within the quartz, creating a truly enchanting visual effect.
The quartz itself forms a sparkling druzy cluster, with countless small, well-terminated crystals creating a glittering landscape. Interspersed within this delicate quartz growth are minor inclusions of dark green to black Chlorite, which adds a natural, earthy contrast, along with tiny, metallic specks of Pyrite, providing a subtle sparkle and depth.
This specimen is a wonderful example of the diverse mineral formations found in Pakistan. Its compact size makes it perfect for collectors who appreciate intricate details and the magic of natural iridescence. It would make a beautiful addition to any collection, a unique desk ornament, or a thoughtful gift.
