This faden quartz specimen is characterized by a visible white “thread” or line running through the crystal, formed as the crystal repeatedly healed itself during growth. These internal growth lines record episodes of breakage and regrowth, giving faden quartz a distinctive internal structure that sets it apart from typical quartz crystals.
Faden quartz is most commonly associated with alpine-type fissures in tectonically active regions such as the Himalayas, where shifting rock layers create the conditions needed for this unusual growth habit. Because of their clear growth history and unique internal features, faden quartz specimens are especially valued by collectors interested in unusual crystal formation processes.
