Himalayan Quartz Cluster with Brookite inclusion weighing 615g and measuring 116:97:53mm. Known as a powerful healing crystal, Brookite is said to benefit the body, mind, and spirit in many ways. It is said to help with ailments such as arthritis, diabetes, and high blood pressure and improve mental clarity and focus. Brookite is also said to be helpful in attracting abundance and prosperity. Although not a very rare mineral, brookite crystals typically form in thin tabular shapes. This makes cutting gemstones very difficult. Although brookites have dispersion that exceeds that of diamonds, their dark colors and possibly submetallic luster can mask their fire. Due to these factors, you're more likely to find faceted brookites in gem collections than jewelry collections. Himalayan Quartz is a rare and ancient variety of Quartz that formed within the Himalayan Mountains. This mountain range runs through the countries of Nepal and Bhutan, as well as creating the border between India and China. These unique crystals can form in a variety of different sizes and shapes; such as prismatic, tabular, clusters, and skinny needle-like points. This Quartz variety is extremely fragile, as some of the matrix it forms on is brittle enough to break in your hand. Himalayan Quartz can also have inclusions of other metals or minerals within, thus causing the color to change. The most popular variety is the “Smoky” Himalayan Quartz caused by natural radiation within the Earth. Iron can cause the color to change from clear, to yellow, and light pink (also known as Samadhi Quartz) which is believed to be from traces of phosphate or aluminum. Hematite inclusions give this mineral a red shade that is found towards the point of each crystal
