AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A top-quality unpolished quartz cluster richly packed with green chlorite inclusions, collected in Nepal in November 2011. The specimen shows complex, stepped growth patterns characteristic of high-altitude Himalayan quartz.

Mined entirely by hand at approx. 3500 m in the Ganesh Himal range, it was carried for several days down the mountain—typical for these remote deposits with extremely limited annual production.

The region is known for its pristine, high-vibration environment, reflected in the clarity and striking chlorite inclusions of this piece. These Nepali chlorite quartz specimens are highly sought-after and increasingly rare on the market. A superb addition to any advanced mineral collection.
