La Belleza is a municipality located in the Santander Department of northeastern Colombia, known within the mineral community for producing exceptional quartz specimens. Quartz crystals recovered from this area are highly prized by collectors worldwide for their remarkable transparency, water-clear clarity, and pristine structural terminations. Some of the most notable specimens originating from the La Belleza mine feature delicate internal inclusions, such as wispy blue or white needle-like formations, which create striking visual depth within the glass-like crystal clusters.
