Item Description
This is a set of chosen cut quartzes, with interesting inclusions. The large stone is 75.6 carats and has sharp, long, fine dendritic growths of manganese, within. Next down is an unusual stone with red dendrites, perhaps colored by iron (more pattern is on the backside, here), 54 carats. The shield cut stone (to the far left in lot photo), shows a novel inclusion of a sharp hexagonal mica crystal perched on a schorl, BOTH WITHIN THE QUARTZ! It is approx 2 cm tall and is 22 carats. The two square-cut stones feature sharp manganese dendrites and are 14.5 and 11.1 carats
