What Makes Zagi Quartz Special:
Zagi Mountain quartz is instantly recognizable to collectors for its skeletal, stepped, and multi-terminated growth. This piece shows the classic complex intergrowth with multiple sharp terminations and excellent luster. The smoky color is caused by natural irradiation in the ground over millions of years — never treated.
The brown and greenish inclusions you see are typical for Zagi: usually clay, hematite, or green Epidote/Aegirine sprays. These inclusions are part of the locality’s fingerprint and highly sought after.
This is a perfect thumbnail to small-cabinet size at 44mm. It displays great on the included base and shows well from multiple angles.
