Hashupi  quartz crystals of high quality are a very rare type of Himalayan  crystals, the higher the quality the higher the difficulty to get them,  not only because of climate conditions and high altitudes, that makes  miners only extract them for a few months a year but also because  crystals of such high quality  have been very hard to find in the mines.
