AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A top-quality 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 approximately 3500 meters 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.
