Quartz (interesting color)

Item Description

There are some truly magnificent hydrothermal Quartz deposits on the eastern end of the Bolivian jungle near Santa Cruz. The majority of these desposits produce some superb Amethyst specimens with great color. The color and clarity of these crystals makes for some fantastic cut stones. This gem is not what I would call Amethyst, as it has an unusual, but attractive, pale pinkish color, with very very slightly inclusions, and a fine "Quantum Trigon" cut. For Quartz this is a very lively stone. Keep in mind that is a genuine Bolivian Quartz and NOT from Brazil, which makes it much more rare and special. Most of the Bolivian material is cut in Brazil and marketed as being found in Brazil, but I wanted to maintain the pedigree of this gem. Enjoy.
