Item Description

Ajoite is a very rare potassium, sodium, copper silicate. This is an excellent, unpolished natural quartz crystal that displays a rich zone of concentrated, turquoise-blue ajoite inclusions. This piece was from the famous, small, 1985 find from the famous Messina Mine of South Africa, source of the very best ajoite-included quartz crystals. The ajoite phantoms are in small quartz points, but they are fabulous on close inspection. Ex: Jingnan (Tom) Zhang Coll.
