Item Description

Quartz can occur with a wide variety of included minerals. One of the most popular and abundant of this material is the Tourmaline included Quartz from Brazil. This "Pear Cabochon" cut gem hosts a few opaque, black, thin Tourmaline prisms which are suspended inside of the colorless Quartz. These are very attractive and highly collectible gems, and this stone would make a great addition to any collection of "inclusion gemstones".
