Quartz from the Atlas Mountains in Morocco (158g)

Quartz Morocco – Natural Crystal from the Majestic Atlas Mountains

This quartz from Morocco is a genuine natural crystal formed within the geologically rich formations of the Atlas Mountains – one of the most significant mineral deposit regions in North Africa. Weighing 158 g, this hand-selected individual piece is an impressive specimen: clearly structured, authentically raw, and of distinctive character. Quartz (chemically: silicon dioxide, SiO₂) is one of the most common minerals in the Earth's crust, yet in its natural crystal form it remains a fascinating one-of-a-kind piece – especially when it comes from a mountain region as steeped in history as the Atlas.

Origin & Mineralogical Properties

The Atlas Mountains in Morocco stretch over more than 2,000 kilometers across North Africa and, due to their diverse geological layers, offer ideal conditions for the formation of high-quality quartz crystals. Over millions of years, the tectonic forces of the region have given rise to extraordinary minerals that are highly sought after by collectors and mineral enthusiasts worldwide. At Crystal Paradise, we only offer pieces that have been personally hand-selected and whose origin can be traced.
