Quartz with Chlorite
specimen number:
2063812
location:
Ganesh Himal, Dhading District, P3 Bagmati Pradesh, Nepal
description: The Ganesh Himal region in the Dhading district of Bagmati Pradesh, Nepal, is world-renowned for its rugged alpine geology and high-altitude mineral occurrences. Tectonic uplift and extreme metamorphism within the high Himalayan ranges created complex alpine-type fissures within ancient rock formations, allowing hydrothermal solutions to circulate and deposit exceptional quartz crystals. Local villagers and specialized collectors manually harvest these specimens from remote, high-elevation deposits near areas like Lapa and Tipling. The resulting quartz crystals are highly prized by mineral collectors globally for their pristine clarity, complex growth habits, elongated prismatic forms, and striking internal green chlorite phantoms or inclusions.
Aesthetically arranged spiky green semi lustrous crystals of quartz to 3.5 cm in length coming off of matrix. This is in good condition. The green color is due to chlorite. The specimen comes with a previous label from the collection of Ray DeMark.
Size: 8.0 x 5.0 x 4.0 cm (small-cabinet)
