Grade A Chlorite Quartz Crystal Kharan Baluchistan Pakistan
£ 36.00
GENUINE GRADE A CHLORITE QUARTZ – KHARAN, BALUCHISTAN, PAKISTANThis Grade A Chlorite Quartz crystal from Kharan, Baluchistan, Pakistan features
natural quartz with distinctive green chlorite inclusions and phantoms. Carefully selected for clarity, inclusion structure and overall aesthetic appeal, this specimen displays the fascinating internal mineral growth patterns that make chlorite-included quartz highly collectible. The photograph provided shows the exact specimen you will receive. Please refer to the images for full sizing and scale details.This crystal includes a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card confirming its genuine mineral identity and natural origin. MINERAL SPECIES & SCIENTIFIC CLASSIFICATIONPrimary Mineral: QuartzChemical Formula: SiO₂ (Silicon Dioxide)Mineral Class: TectosilicateCrystal System: TrigonalHardness: 7 on the Mohs scaleLustre: VitreousTransparency: Transparent to translucentIncluded Mineral: Chlorite GroupMineral Class: PhyllosilicateTypical Composition: Complex hydrated iron, magnesium and aluminium silicatesCrystal Habit: Micaceous or platy aggregatesQuartz crystallises in the trigonal system, commonly forming six-sided prismatic crystals with pyramidal terminations. Chlorite is a group of green phyllosilicate minerals that can occur as inclusions, coatings or phantom growth layers within quartz.The green tones visible inside the quartz are caused by microscopic chlorite inclusions trapped during crystal growth. GEOLOGICAL FORMATION & HYDROTHERMAL ENVIRONMENTChlorite quartz typically forms in hydrothermal environments where silica-rich fluids circulate through fractures and cavities in host rock. In Kharan, Baluchistan, tectonic activity and mineralised fluid systems provide favourable conditions for quartz crystallisation.As quartz crystals grow from silica-rich solutions, chlorite-bearing fluids may enter the cavity during different stages of development. This can result in:
• Internal green inclusions
• Phantom growth layers
• Zoned crystal development
• Surface chlorite coatingsThese growth interruptions create layered internal structures, preserving a visual record of the crystal’s formation history.The geological setting of Baluchistan is known for producing well-formed quartz specimens with distinctive inclusions and strong crystal clarity. CRYSTAL CHARACTERISTICS & OPTICAL FEATURESThis specimen showcases natural chlorite inclusions within clear to translucent quartz, creating a striking contrast between transparent silica and green mineral content.Notable features may include:
• Hexagonal prismatic quartz crystal form
• Defined pyramidal terminations
• Green chlorite phantoms or inclusions
• Layered internal growth patterns
• Natural internal fractures or veils typical of quartzThe presence of chlorite may create scenic or landscape-like internal formations, often highly valued among collectors.No artificial colouring or enhancement is implied. The green coloration is entirely due to natural chlorite inclusions. COLLECTIBILITY, DISPLAY & TRADITIONAL ASSOCIATIONSChlorite-included quartz from Pakistan is appreciated by collectors for its internal complexity and natural aesthetic contrast. This specimen is suitable for:
• Quartz and inclusion mineral collections
• Hydrothermal mineral displays
• Geological study collections
• Decorative mineral presentationIn various traditions, chlorite quartz has been traditionally associated with growth and renewal in a spiritual sense. This listing focuses on mineral composition, crystal structure and geological formation.The combination of clarity, internal structure and Himalayan geological origin makes this piece particularly desirable. AUTHENTICITY & PRESENTATIONThis Grade A Chlorite Quartz crystal has been carefully selected for its crystal definition, inclusion visibility and display quality. The image shown is of the exact specimen you will receive.Included with your purchase is a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card confirming this is a genuine natural chlorite-included quartz specimen from Kharan, Baluchistan, Pakistan.A compelling example of hydrothermal quartz growth capturing chlorite during crystallisation, this authentic Chlorite Quartz specimen combines geological complexity, natural symmetry and distinctive green inclusion patterns in one exceptional collector’s piece.
