Quartz Crystal Cluster (Faden/Tabular)

Tabular Quartz Crystal Clusters

Beautiful examples of Tabular Quartz crystal clusters.

Odd little bits, these are normally quite mixed up clusters with tabular crystals.

Tabular refers to the shape of the crystals themselves, whereas pieces are referred to as 'faden' if they have both tabular crystals and a line through them, almost a rope-like seed crystal that originated the growth.

Our current stock consists of pieces from Pakistan - there are two main areas I'm aware of where these type of growths occur but unfortunately I don't have any locale information other than 'Pakistan'. They are most likely from Tole, Wana, South Waziristan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.
