Tourmalinated Quartz
Tourmalinated Quartz is another variety of
transparent quartz, valued because of it's
inclusions. It is a more rare member of
the Included Quartz group. Tourmaline
is a common accessory mineral in igneous
and metamorphic rocks and can form nice
crystals.
Quartz is usually included with two types of
tourmaline. Iron rich schorl, which is the most
abundant tourmaline. It is black and opaque,
too opaque to be used as a gemstone.
But it is very desirable, as an ornamental stone,
when found as inclusions in quartz.
The other is elbaite which usually produces dark green tourmaline crystals.
We have some very nice green cryatal specimens trapped in clear Quartz.
From the Uruba mine, Aracuia, Minas Gerais,Brazil. We also have some nice
specimens with blue indicolite needles. From
the Sempi Mine in California.
