Quartz w Riebeckite Inclusions

Specimen # 201226
Mineral: Quartz w Riebeckite Inclusions
Location: Camino Cabezo Agudo, Los Vives, Orihuela, Alicante, Spain
Size: 5.2 x 5.0 x 3.1 cm

Description

This specimen features beautiful little deep blue quartz crystals dotting the top of the matrix. These are sharp, lustrous dipyramidal crystals (i.e. Cumberland habit) and they owe their colour to micro-inclusions of riebeckite needles. In excellent condition. From the John S. White Collection, looks super with magnification (under a loupe).
