This is a Hashupi quartz crystal of the highest quality.

What a spectacular crystal this is. It has superb clarity and luster, it´s a Twin Flame, it has golden iridescense around the smaller crystal and on the bottom, showing beautiful rainbow colors.
And for me what stands out in this crystal is the internal wisps, resembling a DNA strand. 

Hashupi quartz crystals of high quality are a very rare type of Himalayan crystals, the higher the quality the higher the difficulty to get them, not only because of climate conditions and high altitudes, that makes miners only extract them for a few months a year but also because crystals of such high quality  have been very hard to find in the mines.

Optical crystals are crystals that are water clear, we can easily see through them and are also crystals that have reached a very high state of evolution.

This crystal comes from Hashupi mine,  in  Shigar Valley, Shigar District, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan.
