Description

A very attractive elongated quartz crystal from Brazil showing striking inclusions of muscovite. The crystal itself is nearly water clear, allowing the internal structures to be observed in excellent detail.

Thin blades of muscovite penetrate the quartz, in some areas running completely through the crystal while in other places slightly protruding from the surface. These brownish mica plates create a fascinating contrast with the clear quartz and give the specimen a very dynamic and natural appearance.
