140,00
This is a natural quartz crystal cluster with complex twin and intergrowth structures from Pakistan, offered as an authentic collector mineral specimen.
The specimen displays an unusual intergrowth of quartz crystals, including twin formations and overlapping crystal generations. Multiple quartz individuals are naturally fused together, creating a sculptural, vertical form with well-preserved natural terminations and good overall clarity.
Such quartz twin and intergrowth clusters are valued by collectors for their mineralogical interest and expressive growth patterns, which clearly illustrate complex crystallization processes within hydrothermal environments.
The specimen is completely natural and untreated. No polishing, repair, or artificial enhancement has been applied. All photographs show the exact quartz specimen you will receive.
This piece is suitable for advanced mineral collections, cabinet displays, and educational reference collections.

Mineralogy

Quartz is a silicon dioxide mineral (SiO₂) crystallizing in the trigonal crystal system. It typically forms prismatic crystals with hexagonal cross-sections and well-developed terminations.
In this specimen, quartz occurs as a complex twin and intergrowth cluster, formed by the simultaneous or sequential growth of multiple crystal individuals.
The following growth features are observed:
  • Quartz twinning – intergrowth of two or more quartz crystals sharing a specific crystallographic orientation. Such twins form when crystal growth conditions change during formation.
  • Parallel and contact intergrowths – crystals grow closely together, partially overlapping and sharing growth surfaces.
  • Multiple-generation growth – later quartz crystals have grown on earlier crystal surfaces, producing a sculptural, branching structure.
Unlike simple single crystals, twin and intergrowth quartz specimens record dynamic changes in temperature, pressure, and fluid chemistry during hydrothermal crystallization. This makes such specimens especially valuable for advanced mineral collections and educational reference material.
The crystal terminations and prism faces remain natural and untreated, preserving the original growth morphology.

Origin

Pakistan is a well-known source of high-quality quartz crystal specimens, including twin crystals and complex growth forms formed in hydrothermal veins and pegmatitic environments.
Specimens from this region are collected internationally for their clarity, size, and diverse crystal morphologies.

Why Collect

Quartz twin clusters are appreciated by mineral collectors for both aesthetic and mineralogical reasons.
This specimen is suitable for collectors who value:
  • Natural quartz twin and intergrowth structures
  • Well-preserved crystal terminations
  • Untreated mineral specimens
  • Visually expressive cabinet-size pieces
Such specimens offer clear insight into natural crystal growth processes.
