Gwindel Quartz – Kullu, Himalayas

This gwindel is a perfect perfect floater, fully recrystallized and with some adularia on its base. The luster and water-clear transparency are amazing, well beyond the quality of most of the gwindels we’ve seen coming from the Himalayas. The typical gwindel twist is well visible when you look the specimen from the top (see picture 2).
