This unique Himalayan Quartz crystal cluster is from Ganesh Himāl, a region in the Himalayan Mountain range near the border of Tibet and Nepal. This area is inaccessible for machinery or equipment - due to this, miners travel through the difficult terrain without large tools and hand mine each crystal from the Earth. This crystal has a glowing quality, with a terminated intact point and a Tessin growth habit. Tessin Quartz crystals exhibit an even tapering that comes to a sharp point at the termination, coming from high-altitude metamorphic veins. This piece also has "barcode" striations often seen in Lemurian Seed crystals and includes green Chlorite phantoms speckled throughout. It measures 65mm by 30mm by 25mm and weighs 17.15 grams.
Mount Ganesh is naturally shaped like an elephant and is named after the Hindu deity with an Elephant head as his own. Held sacred to the Nepalese people, these crystals are known by the Shamans of the area as the "Eyes of God". Each crystal is hand collected by the traveling Sherpas of the Himalayas, whose specialty is to traverse these mountain regions.
