Superb Ajoite included in phantom Quartz ex Henderson

Item Description

Ajoite is a very rare copper-related silicate. This is a killer, unpolished thumbnail of sharp natural quartz crystal that displays zones of concentrated, vibrant, turquoise-blue ajoite inclusions that you can ask for. Truly a very fine thumbnail by ANY standard for the collector of all things quartz, copper or South African. This super piece is from the famous, small, 1985 find from the famous Messina Mine of South Africa, source of the VERY BEST ajoite-included quartz crystals. The interior quartz phantom is a fabulous compliment! The water-clear termination is complete all-around and the crystal is pristine. This is a gorgeous and unique specimen. Fairly valued at $200 as it is VERY hard to get a TN example of this material of such quality. Ex Will Henderson Collection.
