Faden Quartz pendant

About this piece

Faden Quartz: “Faden Quartz” refers to a specific type of quartz crystal characterized by a distinctive white, thread-like line or string running through its interior. People often refer to this thread-like inclusion as a “faden line,”. This is forms when the quartz crystal fractures and then heals along the line, creating a visible seam. Collectors and enthusiasts highly value Faden Quartz for its unique appearance and the geological processes that create it. The term “Faden” comes from the German word for “thread,” reflecting the appearance of the inclusion within the quartz crystal.
