A Hashupi quartz crystal of high quality and vibration.

This crystal has great clarity, a big rutile and other smaller ones, unfortunatelly it has some damage on the side, which it´s not so noticeable and doesn´t take much of its overall beauty.

Rutiles is a natural mineral form of Titanium Dioxide.

It´s rare to find rutilated quartz crystals with this quality and well preserved, that is why most of this type of crystals in the market are polished and made into tumbled crystals.

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.

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