This is a Hashupi quartz crystal of high quality.

This crystal is undamaged, with prominent growth lines on the faces and on the bottom has an advanced regrowth pattern.

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.
