Description
This exceptional mineral specimen features a beautifully formed double-terminated smoky quartz crystal paired with lustrous topaz crystals, dramatically perched on a shimmering bed of bladed feldspar. The soft champagne and smoky hues contrast elegantly against the pearly feldspar matrix, creating a piece that feels both delicate and forceful.
The crystals rise naturally from the feldspar in a sculptural, layered formation, giving the specimen a sense of movement and dimension that is rarely seen in multi-mineral combinations. This is a true cabinet-quality piece from the famous alpine pegmatites of Pakistan — a region revered for producing some of the world’s finest topaz and quartz specimens.
Dimensions & Weight
Measurements: 3” x 2.25” x 1.5”
Weight: 122g
Collector’s Notes
Specimens that combine topaz and double-terminated smoky quartz on feldspar are a rare find from Pakistan’s classic mining regions. The clarity of the quartz, the clean termination of the topaz, and the elegant feldspar blades make this a particularly desirable example for serious collectors.
Double-terminated smoky quartz is especially prized, as it indicates free-growth within a pocket — a sign of exceptional crystallization conditions. The presence of topaz adds rarity and visual distinction, elevating this piece well beyond a standard quartz specimen.
Highlights
Sharp double-terminated smoky quartz crystal
Well-formed natural topaz crystal
Dramatic bladed feldspar matrix
No repairs, enhancements, or stabilization
Highly aesthetic natural crystal composition
From the renowned mineral localities of Pakistan
Metaphysical Properties
Smoky quartz is believed to be a powerful grounding and protective stone, helping to neutralize negative energy and bring emotional stability. Topaz is associated with clarity, truth, and manifestation, often used to enhance intention and confidence. Together on feldspar — a stone of structure and balance — this combination is thought to support mental focus, emotional grounding, and spiritual alignment.
Mineralogy
Smoky Quartz is a silicon dioxide (SiO₂) crystal colored by natural radiation interacting with trace aluminum. Double-terminated crystals form when quartz grows freely in hydrothermal pockets.
Topaz is an aluminum fluorosilicate (Al₂SiO₄(F,OH)₂) prized for its crystal clarity, hardness, and vitreous luster.
Feldspar is a group of rock-forming aluminosilicate minerals; the bladed crystals seen here formed during slow cooling in pegmatitic conditions.
These minerals formed together within Pakistan’s high-altitude pegmatite veins, where super-heated fluids allowed large, well-formed crystals to grow over millions of years.
