Quartz from Huarón mine, Huarón mining district, Huayllay District, Pasco, Peru

Huaron Mine, Pasco, Peru

This Needle Quartz & Pyrite specimen comes from the Huaron Mine in Pasco, Peru, a locality known for producing sharp, elongated quartz needles and well‑formed sulfides. This piece shows long, slender quartz crystals arranged in a radiating formation with bright golden pyrite nestled throughout the cluster. The contrast between the delicate needle quartz and the metallic pyrite creates a striking, highly aesthetic display.

Weighing 521g and measuring 15cm x 10.5cm x 3.3cm, this specimen offers excellent size and structure for collectors. Needle quartz from Huaron is prized for its clarity, length, and fragile formation, making intact plates increasingly hard to find. The pyrite adds additional visual interest and mineralogical value, enhancing the overall composition.

A strong addition to any fine mineral collection, this piece is ideal for display, photography, or curated shelving. Its combination of form, locality, and mineral pairing makes it a standout example of Peruvian needle quartz.
