This is a NEW FIND of Quartz coming from Pakistan and is being referred to as "Diamond Quartz" in the local markets where it is sold. This material is extremely similar to Herkimer Diamond with a cool new twist. Many of these stones have wild black and/or liquid inclusions! Some of these look like they are three phase inclusions and have a solid, liquid and gas combination clearly visible to the naked eye while others look almost like insects! Some of these inclusions show up as a light yellow while others are clear. Local sellers are saying that the Black inclusions are Carbon and the Yellow and Liquid Inclusions are Petrol or Gas. We have heard of this Quartz referred to as Hydra Quartz and some have referred to the inclusions as being composed of water. Whatever these inclusions are composed of this material is selling out here at a phenomenal rate. I have been told that some of this material fluoresces under UV light; however, I don't have any UV light to test it so there are no guarantees on it. This is the second type of Quartz that was found in the region it is being mined and the first material started out at about $20.00 a kilo out here and peaked at about $500.00 per kilo before the mines were exhausted. Now the old material is no longer being produced and the price has been climbing higher and higher for it. I think this is a great investment lot as you really can't go wrong with the price on this.

There is a very limited amount of this in the markets in Pakistan and it has already begun to climb in price EXTREMELY quickly. Many of these are excellent examples of Fadden Quartz that Pakistan is well known for with quite a few exhibiting new features unseen before. There are new black inclusions and weird internal etchings located inside the Quartz crystals. This material really shouldn't be faceted as it is a hot collectors item; however, I think faceting a stone with a three phase inclusion in the center would probably just blow people away! Please note that most of these are crystal sections having perfect razor sharp termination at both ends and SUPER luster. The cleaner material looks virtually identical to Herkimer Quartz while the included material is definitely worth picking this lot up for!

1. This is new discovery of Quartz coming from western Pakistan. There are some really unusual inclusions in many of these crystals and we are confident that they will be identified as new inclusions for Quartz in the near future. This material is going up exponentially in price and supply is limited. This material was only discovered a few months ago at MOST and we know of no one else in the US carrying it.
