“Schaumburg Diamond” - Quartz from the Extertal, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany

This impressive quartz comes from the Extertal in the Weserbergland, a well-known area for so-called “Schaumburg diamonds”. These are particularly clear quartz crystals whose brilliance and shape are reminiscent of real gemstones - hence the charming nickname.

Crystal clarity and shape

This specimen shows exceptional clarity and transparency. The well-developed crystal structure with its smooth, shiny surfaces creates a sparkling play of light that gives the quartz its diamond-like character. The natural growth zones and the undamaged tip testify to the high quality and aesthetic effect of this piece.

Regional rarity with a special charm

Schaumburg diamonds are prized by collectors throughout Germany, not only because of their beauty, but also because of the limited possibilities for finding them in Extertal. Such clear crystals are rare and often difficult to access, as the deposits are usually trapped deep in the rock.

A dazzling classic for lovers of regional minerals

This piece of quartz exemplifies the beauty of local mineral finds. Whether as a decorative individual piece or as an addition to a collection of German classics - this Schaumburg diamond impresses with its naturalness, clarity and origin in equal measure.
