Item Description
Quartz is easily the most "inclusion friendly" gem out there. Originally, this stone was sold me as being a Dendritic Quartz, but the words dendrite or dendritic come from the Greek word "dendros" meaning tree, as the inclusions in Dendritic Quartz typically resemble plant life, but this stone is not what I would call dendritic, as the inclusions are discernible crystals. The stone is essentially a colorless "Cushion" cut Quartz gem, which features beautiful yellow green crystals of Fuchsite Mica (actually a variety of Muscovite). The gem has a beautiful two-tone color arrangement. and is the only one of these stones that I've had to offer. The stone was difficult to photograph, but it really is beautiful up close.
