Faden Adularia
This page contains a small lot of faden adularia clusters. Faden adularia specimens are considerably rarer than the faden quartz that comes from farther south, in war-torn Waziristan. A small quantity of these were first brought to the market in 2004, and they have become quite scarce since then. I purchased these just outside of the Shigar Valley, in Baltistan.
