00:00In the Bisha region of southwest Saudi Arabia lies the enigmatic White Mountain, a striking
00:12contrast in a land of black peaks.
00:14Mount Asaira stands tall at 1,318 meters above sea level.
00:27This peak is surrounded by a vast mountain range, yet it stands apart.
00:33Its dazzling white color is a mystery among dark, rugged summits.
00:37How did it form?
00:38Why is it so unique?
00:43Its secret lies within.
00:45The mountain is home to Saudi Arabia's largest deposit of quartz and feldspar, making it
00:50unlike any other.
01:03Here the quartz tell its story.
01:05Red veins and grooves reveal the intense heat that endured during its formation.
01:11Born from basalt, the stone carries history in its patterns.
01:20These pieces are so pure they're almost transparent.
01:23Hold one to the light and the sun passes through, like a window into nature's craftsmanship.
01:35The sun's rays pass through the stone, proof of its purity, because it contains no other
01:41minerals.
01:45That's why we call it rock crystal, the finest and purest form of quartz.
