Feldspar with quartz – 292 grams
A beautiful, naturally formed specimen from the Shigar Valley in Pakistan, a region known for its high-quality minerals. This 8 × 5 × 8 cm specimen consists of a solid feldspar matrix topped by a clear to smoky quartz crystal. The high-contrast combination of soft earth tones and crystal-clear quartz gives the specimen a powerful, robust appearance that makes it both decorative and collectible.
Geologically, feldspar is common in pegmatites, where it can grow into large crystals alongside quartz. In the Shigar Valley, slow cooling processes result in exceptionally well-formed crystals. The quartz in this specimen exhibits typical growth patterns and natural inclusions, which enhance its mineralogical value.
Feldspar is associated with stability and support, while quartz is known for clarity and balance. Together, they form a harmonious combination that is both soothing and invigorating.
