DESCRIPTION:

This is a NEW FIND of Quartz coming from Pakistan and is being referred to as "Diamond Quartz" in the local markets where it is sold. This material is extremely similar to Herkimer Diamond and I don't really know anyone who would identify it otherwise. This is the third type of Quartz that was found in the region it is being mined and the first material started out at about $20.00 a kilo out here and peaked at about $500.00 per kilo before the mines were exhausted. Now the old material is no longer being produced and the price has been climbing higher and higher for it. I think this is a great investment lot as you really can't go wrong with the price on this.

There is a very limited amount of this in the markets in Pakistan and it has already begun to climb in price EXTREMELY quickly. This material really shouldn't be faceted as it is a hot collectors item! Please note that most of these are crystal sections having perfect razor sharp termination at both ends and SUPER luster. The cleaner material looks virtually identical to Herkimer Quartz!

COOL FACTS:
  1. This is new discovery of Quartz coming from western Pakistan. There are some really unusual inclusions in many of these crystals and we are confident that they will be identified as new inclusions for Quartz in the near future. This material is going up exponentially in price and supply is limited. This material was only discovered a few months ago at MOST and we know of no one else in the US carrying it.
