1600422hhdwlnnr.is ((QUARTZ with TOURMALINE inclusions)), $15 MINIMUM BID, Minas Gerais, Brazil, 3 x 3 x 3 cm, 2 Miniatures, | |
Here are two Quartz specimens with visable needles of blue grey Tourmaline, perhaps Indicolite, both included in the Quartz and external to the Quartz giving the Quartz a blue grey color. The Tourmaline crystals are hard to see with the naked eye but viewable with a 5x loop, although still very small. Under a microscope the Tourmaline crystals are all over as inclusions with many protruding from the Quartz faces and sure look like Indicolite crystals. |
