Himalayan Smoky Quartz Point: Albite Inclusions, Collectible Crystal

Material: Natural Smoky Quartz with Albite inclusions Weight: 160 grams Dimensions: Approx. 9 x 4 x 3.5 cm (3.5 x 1.6 x 1.4 inches), single crystal point Origin: Manikaran, Kullu Valley, Himachal Pradesh, India Finish: Natural, unpolished faces with partial clarity Pantone Palette: 17-0000 TCX Smoke Gray (smoky quartz body), 11-0602 TCX Bright White (albite), 19-0303 TCX Jet Black (inclusions/phantoms) This Himalayan specimen features an elegant smoky quartz point exhibiting gentle gradients of cool gray and semi-transparency, transitioning from a luminous, nearly clear tip to a deeper smoke-gray base. Measuring 160 grams, the crystal stands robust and well-terminated, with sharply defined edges and a glistening, naturally faceted surface. Internal veils, minor phantoms, and micro-inclusions are visible—each one tracing the story of its slow formation within the high-altitude seams of India's Kullu Valley. Dainty, snowy-white albite inclusions are perched discreetly within and along the base, offering a subtle contrast against the crystal’s smoky undertones. Naturally occurring surface features and micro-etched patterns further enhance its rugged mountain character. This piece harmonizes the serene clarity of quartz with the quiet, grounding presence of Himalayan albite, making it a collector-worthy treasure or a striking centerpiece for any personal altar or decor.
