Nirvana Quartz

Nirvana Quartz (Himalayan Ice Quartz)

This rosy quartz was recently discovered (in 2006) high in the Himalayan mountains in a region that had previously been submersed in ice all year round.

The crystal formation is chunky and irregular - a result of calcite and other mineral deposits having once been attached to the crystal, but dissipating over time. This type of crystal formation is known as "growth interference crystal" and is generally used to release blocks and limitations imposed by oneself on goals or purposes.

This quartz contains many tiny caves and grooves that create a fascinating view to the inner crystal. The coloring is quite delicate with shimmering pinks and whites.

This is a rare and especially exciting crystal. Very limited quantity.
