Blue Quartz (Tourmaline incl) |
Blue Quartz (Tourmaline incl) |
| Specimen # | 100533 | |
| Mineral: | Blue Quartz (Elbaite Tourmaline inclusions) | |
| Location: | Velho Joao Mine, Jenipapo District, Itinga, Minas Gerais, Brazil | |
| Size: | 6.1 x 5.3 x 2.0 cm | |
This is a very unusual specimen - it is a crystal of quartz that is coloured blue by inclusions of a myriad of blue elbaite tourmaline crystals. The quartz crystal is doubly-terminated, although the bottom termination ends mostly in the matrix. The matrix is comprised of hundreds of tiny (micro) interlocking blue to bluish elbaite crystals. In excellent condition - no damage.
