A striking collector's specimen featuring dramatic black, needle-like Tourmaline inclusions suspended within beautifully golden-toned Quartz. Presented on a sleek black custom display stand, this remarkable piece combines intricate mineral formations with an eye-catching sculptural silhouette.
Rich golden-yellow colour runs throughout the translucent Quartz, creating a beautiful backdrop for the bold black inclusions. Some appear as long, sharply defined needles, while others form dense, intersecting clusters that resemble miniature abstract artworks captured within the crystal.
The specimen features an irregular, angular polished shape with multiple reflective faces, allowing its internal structures to be appreciated from different viewpoints. Natural inclusions, internal veils and variations in transparency add further depth and character.
Mounted on its contrasting black metal stand, this is a beautiful display piece for collectors who appreciate unusual mineral combinations, intricate internal formations and statement crystals.
About the Minerals
Tourmalinated Quartz is Quartz containing naturally occurring Tourmaline inclusions. Black Tourmaline, commonly associated with the mineral Schorl, can form elongated crystals that become enclosed within Quartz during mineral growth.
The striking contrast between dark Tourmaline and translucent Quartz creates distinctive patterns, ranging from fine hair-like inclusions to thicker intersecting needles.
Golden Healer Quartz is a trade name commonly used for Quartz displaying golden or yellow colouring associated with iron-bearing mineral inclusions or staining. The warm golden appearance creates an especially beautiful contrast with the dark Tourmaline formations.
This specimen has been supplied as Black Tourmaline in Golden Healer Quartz. Its precise mineral composition has not been independently laboratory verified.
