Description from the seller

Nice clear Quartz var Gwindel from Vorderes Galmihorn, Bächi Valley, Reckingen, Goms, Goms, Valais, Switzerland.

A clear quartz crystal var Gwindel with a light dusting of chlorite on the terminations.

Swiss quartz is world renowned for its quality. The matrix is composed of one big clear quartz crystal var Gwindel. A gentle selective "dusting" of chlorite overgrowths gives the piece contrast and character. It is stunning and has nice colours and is slightly twisted.


Seller's Story

Based in Switzerland, as a private seller I'm offering a handpicked selection of fine quality international minerals, with a special focus on distinctive specimens that spark curiosity and reflection. With over 50 years of collecting experience, my passion lies in the awe-inspiring processes of nature that create such intricate and beautiful forms. I offer collectors and enthusiasts the opportunity to own some of the rarest and most beautiful minerals in the world. Each mineral and crystal presented is not only a testament to geological artistry but also an enduring source of wonder — a piece of natural beauty to be admired and contemplated at home.
