Rare quartz point with tourmaline from Brazil - 11cm, 529g

Experience the beauty of this very clear quartz point with included tourmaline. This exceptional piece is characterized by its outstanding quality and transparency, which is difficult to find in this clarity. A high-quality and unique collector's item.

Formation of quartz with tourmaline:

Quartz with tourmaline forms deep within the Earth's interior under specific geological conditions. These crystals develop in hydrothermal solutions rich in silica and various minerals. Under high pressure and high temperature, the quartz slowly crystallizes from these solutions.

During crystallization, other minerals such as tourmaline may become trapped within the growing quartz crystal. Tourmaline also forms under hydrothermal conditions, and its long, needle-like crystals can become trapped within the quartz mass as it grows. The result is a stunning combination of clarity and tourmaline's characteristic black or green needles.

The high quality and transparency of this particular quartz point make it particularly sought-after. Such specimens are rare because they require near-perfect crystallization and minimal inclusions of other materials. This requires extremely precise geological conditions, which explains the rarity and value of such quartz with tourmaline inclusions.

This extraordinary quartz point with tourmaline is not only a visual highlight, but also a valuable piece of geological history that took millions of years to form. A true masterpiece of nature.
