This is a really yummy chocolate quartz from Brazil … 2.9 oz and 2.3” by 2.2” by 1.3” and is a cluster of chocolate brown tipped! The colors vary from a deep dark chocolate to a milk chocolate to a caramel … simple lovely! Now with a loupe, you will see that was the chocolate deposited in tiny spheroids … hematite! To the base, there are crystals of albite and on top, there is an inset of what I thought was also albite, but it’s columns of mica! As I was editing the photos, I noticed a blue area. With a loupe, I could see that it’s actually a little inset of indicolite (blue tourmaline) rods! Pictures and words cannot adequately describe all this – seeing for yourself will take you into a wonderful world of discovery … and it’s strictly low-cal!
