Quartz Crystal - Height: 47 mm - Width: 10 mm- 6 g - (1)

High-purity Hialino Quartz specimen, commercially recognized as 'Lemurian Quartz', originating from the prestigious Peñas Blancas mine in Colombia. This single crystal is distinguished by displaying a highly significant crystallographic feature: a natural self-healed fracture. The white diagonal line crossing the crystal's body is a visual record of a tectonic or mechanical fracture that occurred during its growth. The process was followed by a subsequent recrystallization of the quartz, where dissolved silica 'welded' the fissure, encapsulating a layer of bifacial fluid inclusions (the white veil) that now mark the exact plane of the original break. This phenomenon is a direct indicator of the hydrothermal dynamics of the Peñas Blancas deposit and gives the specimen a distinctive scientific value by documenting a geological event in the crystal's history. Its optical clarity is remarkable, with superior hyaline transparency at the apex, contrasting with the milky matrix and the recrystallization veil. Its vitreous luster and the purity of its formation make it a piece of visual elegance and value for any specialized collection in quartz or Colombian mineralogy.
