Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Quartz, Fluorite
Locality: Amborompotsy, Ambatofinandrahana District, Amoron'i Mania Region, Fianarantsoa Province, Madagascar (Locality at mindat.org)
These specimens were one of the few “new sensations” at the Tucson Show this year, especially as new finds were so scarce this year in general. We EXPECTED to see more at Denver but there were none to be had except for a small parcel which the collector had saved for us, based on a commitment we made right after Tucson when they flew off the shelves. The quartz crystal has a half-dozen purple-blue, sharp fluorite crystals included inside. The fluorites grew on the face of the quartz crystals at some point during their development in the pocket, and were later engulfed as the quartz continued its growth. The quartz crystals are more “silky” than lustrous in appearance. The guy who brought these from Madagascar said he is not sure how many more will come out – there was no way to tell if there will be more production. Crystal-in-crystal inclusions of this sort are of course quite exceptional, and are more often a one-off “oddity” than an entire pocket. 9.8 x 2.2 x 1.8cm
