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.
