Quartz With Astrophylite Inclusions – Zagi Mount, Pakistan

This listing presents a natural Quartz crystal specimen with astrophyllite inclusions sourced from Zagi Mount in Pakistan, offered by Rare Earth Specimens. The piece is a natural crystal specimen featuring a primary clear to smoky Quartz (silicon dioxide) host with visible astrophyllite inclusion zones that create rich internal patterns and color contrasts characteristic of fine mineral specimens from this locality.

Quartz typically crystallizes in the hexagonal crystal system and is among the most common minerals in the Earth’s crust, but specimens carrying well-defined inclusions such as astrophyllite are more unusual and visually striking. The Quartz portion exhibits a vitreous luster with transparent to translucent clarity, while the astrophyllite inclusions contribute earthy brown to black fibrous patterns visible within the host crystal. The matrix is partially preserved where the specimen was naturally detached from its geological host.

From the provided images, terminations on the larger Quartz faces appear natural with some minor surface imperfections as expected in untouched specimens. There is no indication of repair or artificial enhancement. Size and weight are not specified in the eBay listing, so interested buyers should message the seller for exact measurements.

This specimen is well suited for mineral collectors and geological enthusiasts, particularly those interested in inclusion-rich Quartz and classic Zagi Mount material. It also makes a compelling display piece or educational example of mineral inclusion phenomena.
