Item Description
This stone features several Goethite / Hematite and Rutile needles inside of a "Cut Corner Rectangle" cut stone of colorless Quartz This material is sometimes marketed as "Melody Stone" and boasts that it hosts many different minerals, such as Cacoxenite and Lepidocrocite, but several individuals have informed me that this is not the case, and at best, the inclusions are only Goethite and Hematite. A very cool and eye-catching "inclusion" gem. Please note that there is no culet on this stone.
