Faden Quartz is famous for the "faden lines" caused by break-and-rehealed zones that wind their way through the centers of these Quartz crystals. This 3.4 cm tabular crystal is particularly attractive, not only for its excellent gemminess, but for the lovely crystal habit as well. One thing that is truly remarkable is the sharpness of the faden zone, AND that it also goes through the two tiny quartz crystals on top of the main crystal.Also, few are on matrix from this find of the mid-90s! This specimen is amazing, and a terrific example of this type of occurrence.
