Gwindels from Pakistan are prized specimens among mineral collectors for their unique and distinctive features. Gwindels are a rare form of quartz characterized by twisted or contorted crystal growth. In Pakistan, particularly in regions such as Balochistan and Gilgit-Baltistan, gwindels can be found exhibiting stunning clarity and often display intricate twists and turns, sometimes resembling helices or spirals.
