Description from the seller
A large and aesthetic Petroleum Quartz specimen weighing 69.8 ct, originating from the well-known Skardu region of Pakistan.
The crystal shows a clearly developed termination on one side, while the opposite end was likely attached to the host matrix - typical for many large petroleum quartz crystals from this locality.
Inside the quartz, you can see the characteristic hydrocarbon inclusions that define this variety.
Under UV light, these inclusions display a strong, vivid blue fluorescence, as shown in the additional photo, confirming the classic “petroleum” signature.
The crystal is transparent with internal reflections, fluid inclusions and excellent clarity in many areas. A sizeable and desirable specimen for collectors of quartz varieties and Pakistani alpine-type minerals.
Origin: Skardu, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan
Condition: Natural, untreated
Dimensions: 29 x 23 x 14 mm
Weight: 69.8 ct / 13.96 g
Shipped with its stand, as seen in the photos.
***All photos were taken using lamp light, with professional photographic lenses, to enhance the colors and also the details and imperfections of the gem. Looking with the naked eye, possible inclusions and imperfections are much less visible or not visible at all.***
The live color may be of a slightly different shade because it changes based on each different screen in which it is viewed.

Seller's Story
Welcome to Angolo Vetusto Earth Stones, my name is Dalla Stella Federico.
Since I was a child, I have been fascinated by gems and minerals, and by the search and discovery of their true nature. This passion eventually grew into a desire to make it my life and profession, leading me to study and become a professional lapidary, as well as an expert in minerals from around the world, with a special focus on Italian specimens.
I am an expert lapidary, specializing in cutting and polishing hard stones such as Australian and Ethiopian opals, agates, quartzes, jaspers, and more.
Ongoing study has led me and continues to lead me to create increasingly precise work, with great attention to the smallest details, in order to best enhance the natural beauty of each gem.
I import high-quality minerals and raw gems from all over the world, to offer only the finest specimens to high-level collectors.
