Crystal Peak, Mountain summit in Sierra County, United States.
Crystal Peak rises to 8,107 feet in elevation, featuring a distinct summit block composed of solid quartz that extends forty feet above the mountain top.
The initial documented expedition to Crystal Peak occurred in 1845 when a wagon train from Stevens reached this Sierra Nevada location.
The mountain serves as a gathering point for geology researchers and mineral collectors who study the various crystalline formations present throughout the site.
Visitors can collect crystals from the Crystal Mine area, with regulations permitting one 5-gallon bucket of specimens per vehicle each week.
The peak contains deposits of both milky and transparent quartz specimens, creating different patterns when sunlight reflects off the mineral surfaces.
