Hematite inclusions and internal rainbows
Hematite is the dominant inclusion in this piece, creating dark, graphic formations against the clearer quartz. A smaller amount of fine golden rutile adds another detail to examine without defining the specimen’s main identity.
Natural internal fractures and reflective veils catch the light and produce rainbow flashes as the viewing angle changes. Their appearance varies with lighting and orientation; the polished surface makes the internal features easier to examine.
What to expect
This natural quartz has been cut and polished to reveal its inclusions. Internal fractures, veils, small pits, colour variation and minor surface irregularities are characteristics of included quartz. Please examine the photographs and video to assess this individual piece before purchasing.
