A very large and interesting Quartz inclusion piece. Typically, when the mineral Hematite is present as an inclusion in Quartz, it consists of well defined and darker platelets. This variety (sometimes simply called ‘Hematoid’ Quartz) captures extremely diffuse, almost fibrous, inclusions - the result being a very attractive otherwise clean Quartz with floating inclusions scattered throughout. We never saw many of these and this one is particularly large and fine. .
