Classic Faden Quartz that formed from a fracture in Quartzite, the chain of smaller quartz crystals along the "faden" which means thread in German terminated in a large tabular transparent crystal displaying a "spike" at the end emerging from the
newly formed Quartz. Jack Lowell, geologist, theorizes that the faden carries a charge that attracts more quartz molecules during formation in the widening vein of quartzite. That thread is what promotes growth on a Faden Quartz specimen. The spike on this one is a textbook example of the theory. compare our prices to Arkenstone. Wholesale groups available on request.
