An elegant and well-balanced quartz cluster from the prolific pegmatites of
Skardu.
This specimen features a tight grouping of sharply terminated prismatic
crystals emerging from a compact matrix base.
The crystals display bright vitreous luster and commendable transparency,
with clean terminations and minimal edge abrasion. Subtle internal veils and
minor inclusions contribute character while preserving overall clarity.
Iron oxide accents within the matrix introduce natural contrast, enhancing
depth and visual interest without overpowering the crystal structure.
