Item Description

Adorable and sculptural faden quartz from Pakistan and the Paul Otto Collection. A striking, well-placed, water-clear, 4.0 x 2.8 cm, tabular, doubly terminated quartz crystal has a very well-defined faden or "string" running down the crystal. Amazingly, the faden is sharply offset as it proceeds down the interior of the crystal! An artistic and aesthetic 360-degree matrix faden from this well-known locale.
