Ajoite included in Quartz with Amethyst (rare)

Item Description

Ajoite is a very rare copper-related silicate. This dramatic piece is highlighted by an upright quartz crystal that displays as rich a color saturated, turquoise-blue ajoite inclusion that you can ask for. The plate is light amethyst quartz, a very rare varietal from this noted locale. Truly a very fine small cabinet by ANY standard for the collector of all things quartz, copper or South African. This super piece is 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 phantom is FABULOUS! The termination is complete all-around, with only gentle bruising. The amethyst is a real bonus. This is a gorgeous and unique specimen. Valued at $750-900. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
