Item Description
I have not seen many of these stones on the market, especially in the last 10+ years. I am told that they are from the Diamantina area in Brazil. I remember seeing Pyrite included Quartz gems many years ago from this mine, but they looked somewhat different. Nonetheless, this stone features a few unusually flattened i.e., compressed crystals of metallic Pyrite completely frozen inside of this colorless, gemmy "Square" cut Quartz stone. I think it is a very attractive and highly collectible "inclusion" stone, and certainly not what you typically see from Brazil. It was not the easiest gem to photograph, and truly looks better in person. I don't have many of these, and I will try to get more, but until then, do not miss out on this beautiful gem. Priced at $274.50.
