Gwindel Quartz – Shalman, Pakistan

Here is probably one of the best gwindels that came from Shalman mine during the first finds. While most of the gwindels coming from Pakistan are small and not very high, this one is much more “aerial”. The twist is great but it’s hard to show it with pictures. Like most of the specimens from this locality, it has some little damages and the back is pretty matte. Some inclusions, maybe rutile, are also visible inside.

• Locality : Shalman Area, Khyber Agency, (FATA), Pakistan
• Size: 70mm x 55mm x 26mm
