The absolute best Quartz in the world in my opinion 🤍🧬🤯🤍
Himalayan High Altitude Lemurian Quartz
15,000 glaciers call the Himalayan range home. The crystals that come from these high altitude and glacial areas can only be mined in a micro window of less than three months when the snow line recedes to 5,500 meters, the highest permanent snow line in the world. It is in this small window of time that men can gain access to glacial quartz and hydrothermal quartz that has been sealed within alpine-type fissures created tectonically.
One characteristic feature of high-altitude quartz is their marco-mosaic formations. This is made up of miniature cathedral structures and something called "sutures" which look similar to very tiny high luster striations covering the surface of the crystal. Generous self-healing, hydrothermal clarity, and extraordinary shapes caused by growth interference are just a few of the other key features of alpine typical growth. Even more limited than these are the glacial quartz specimens brought down from heights of over 6,000 meters. Indigenous miners only gain access to these unbelievable pieces for about 8 weeks of the year. The glacial ice and mud are melted in buckets to expose these enchanting blessings of the mountain. There are no words that can describe their beauty and clarity.
As the short mining season ends, the year’s findings are placed in baskets and packed down the mountain on yaks. There are no vehicles, no blasting, no array of power tools to bring these crystals to the surface. Only the dedication and experience of the indigenous Himalayan dwellers allow us to hold these gifts from the mountains.
