For your information:
Ganesh Himal is a mountain range in the High Himalayas located in north-central Nepal. Its main peak, Yangra (Ganesh I), rises to an altitude of over 7,400 meters. The range takes its name from the elephant-headed Hindu god, Ganesh, because the silhouette of its peaks resembles the form of this deity.
The Ganesh Himal region has yielded quartz crystals, some entirely chlorite-bearing, while others exhibit remarkable transparency and associations with albite, adularia, titanite, or other minerals typical of alpine fissures.
The quartz from Ganesh Himal comes from high-mountain areas in a Himalayan environment that is particularly difficult to access, making the extraction and transport of specimens especially challenging. The best-known mines are those at Lapa and Tipling, but thousands of others exist in
