Item Description

Quartz is easily the most "inclusion friendly" mineral out there. The sharp, stubby, prismatic hexagonal Quartz crystals feature inclusions of dark greenish-black Actinolite with minor associate Feldpsar. If you collect inclusion minerals, or interesting Quartz specimens, pick this one up. It's different from other pieces we've seen from Alchuri as the color of the Actinolite is darker than normal, and the Quartz crystals are not nearly as prismatic as we're used to seeing.
