This is an intense and spirited 8.8 oz hematite-stained and included red quartz, 4.6” by 1.5” by 1.1” with several small keys and a small student around the base. She is from a new pocket discovered in Madagascar and was originally named “flower” or “picture” quartz, not from how the crystals grew in a flower-like arrangement, but because of how the hematite formed inside and in simply astounding patterns of ferns, feathers, flowers or leaves. I have named these Asian Watercolor quartz because of the way the patterns resemble precisely that. Three sides are nearly opaque while the remainder show her inner clarity, a few dancing mists and the incredible “flower” patterning that forms a tapestry on her sides. I tried to capture the tapestry with the camera but the hematite is intense and the backlight, even strong, doesn’t adequately show the beauty I see … and the fascinating faces! She has subtle facial glyphs and a few more in the keys and Lemurian lines, completing her look as the incredible quart that she is. There are some tiny dings and a scrape on one side that do not impair her beauty or energy in the least.
