Quartz included with Dumortierite (rare and fine)

Item Description

This fantastic miniature sized specimen is a remarkably sharp, well-formed, lustrous, euhedral, colorless gemmy Quartz crystal with notably strong indigo colored, thin fibrous inclusions of Dumortierite frozen within. Some of you might have seen this material in the gem / lapidary trade, and there are broken "chunks" out there on the market, but to find a piece of actual CRYSTALLIZED Quartz with these Dumortierite inclusions is rather rare in my experience. There are some contacted areas, so the piece is not 100% damage, free, but it is very well-crystallized on the front. The combination of the two species together is notably hard to find in nature, and creates a fantastic effect. The alluring color of the Dumortierite makes it all the more appealing, as few minerals have this exact hue. If you collect Quartz or inclusion specimens, this is a great opportunity to pick up a piece of this rarely seen material from the Vaca Morta Quarry in Bahia. One of the best crystallized specimens we've had of this material, and incredibly rare in the mineral world. Priced at $2,000 retail in the inventory.
