This Himalayan Quartz Cluster from India is a natural marvel, featuring Pink Hematite inclusions and measuring approximately 2" x 2.25". 

Himalayan quartz is a unique type of quartz crystal that is found exclusively in the Himalayan mountain range, which spans several countries in South Asia, including India, Nepal, and Bhutan. The crystals are often found in high-altitude regions that are difficult to access, resulting in the extraction of Himalayan quartz primarily done by hand. Miners must trek up steep and rugged terrain to reach the crystal veins, where they use hand tools to carefully extract the crystals. After the crystals are extracted, they are carried down the mountain in packs, often taking several days to complete the journey. Himalayan quartz crystals can only be mined for a few months each year. This limited mining season adds to the rarity and value of these crystals, as they are not available year-round like other types of quartz.

It is said that these crystals have been infused with the energy and essence of the Himalayas, making them powerful tools for spiritual growth and transformation. Himalayan quartz is often referred to as the "light stone" or the "eyes of god" in shamanic practices and is associated with the third eye chakra. This chakra is located in the forehead and is believed to be the center of intuition and spiritual insight. Himalayan quartz is used for vision work, clairvoyance, and enhancing spiritual awareness. The unique properties of these crystals make them highly sought after by healers, collectors, and spiritual practitioners around the world.
