How Rare Are Crystal-Clear Rock Crystals?
Truly pure rock crystals are relatively rare. Most quartz crystals contain fine inclusions, gas or liquid inclusions, or display growth structures. Absolutely clear crystals without any cloudiness form only under ideal conditions and over long periods of time. These exceptional specimens are therefore highly sought after by collectors and jewelry enthusiasts.
Locations and Altitude in the Alps
In the Alps, rock crystals are usually found at altitudes between 2,000 and 3,000 meters, often in alpine clefts formed by geological movements. Searching for these crystals requires not only expertise but also physical endurance, as the best sites are often difficult to access.Care instructions:
