Description from the seller

Gwindel Quartz with Chlorite Inclusions – Natural Alpine Crystal
An elegant and highly aesthetic natural Gwindel quartz crystal displaying the distinctive twisted growth habit that makes this variety so sought after by collectors. The crystal is exceptionally transparent, allowing the unique internal structure and attractive chlorite inclusions to be admired from every angle.
The well-formed termination is complete and lustrous, while the crystal faces exhibit natural growth features and internal healing fractures that add character without diminishing its visual appeal. Dark green chlorite forms attractive rosette-like aggregates along one side and within the crystal, creating a striking contrast against the clear quartz.
This specimen is an excellent display piece, combining the rarity of the Gwindel habit with beautiful clarity and contrasting mineral inclusions. It is ideal for collectors of fine Alpine minerals and aesthetic quartz specimens.
