Faden Quartz Cluster

At Namaste Bookshop you will find this crystal cluster, Faden Quartz Cluster (shop SKU FDNQU679).

Faden quartz is quartz with a white, thread-like zone (the 'faden') running through the crystal, a mark of how it grew after the host rock was pulled apart. Pakistan is a well-known source. In crystal traditions, faden quartz is associated with connection and with mending. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.

A cluster is a group of crystals that grew together; no two have the same arrangement of points. Natural stones vary in color, clarity, and shape, so the piece you receive will have its own character even when the weight or grade is listed.
