Faden quartz grows in rock fractures that open slowly and steadily. A quartz crystal bridges the crack, then breaks as the walls pull apart, then heals again in the silica-rich fluid. Each repair traps tiny bubbles of liquid and gas, and over many cycles those trapped bubbles build the milky thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBecause the crystal keeps growing as the crack widens, faden quartz often ends up flat and platy, with the thread running from tip to tip. A 2025 study found that the thread is made of very closely spaced microfractures, each only a few thousandths of a millimetre wide, sealed with quartz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThese come from Tole near Wana in South Waziristan, Pakistan, a well-known locality for faden quartz. The crystals form in Alpine-type veins in low-grade metamorphic rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThese pieces are flat, clear quartz crystals with a white thread running through them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn crystal lore, faden quartz is regarded as a strong energy stone used in meditation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eChemical Composition\u003c\/b\u003e: SiO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eChakra\u003c\/b\u003e: All\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSmall\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eApproximate Size for 1 piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 30mm x 3mm x 7mm\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eApproximate Weight for 1 piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 4g\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMedium\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eApproximate Size for 1 piece\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: 55mm x 11mm x 8mm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eApproximate Weight for 1 piece\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: 7g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarge\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eApproximate Size for 1 piece\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: 70mm x 30mm x 8mm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eApproximate Weight for 1 piece\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: 18g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1pc\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eWe do our best to buy quality products- although not every rock is the same.
