DUMORTIERITE IN QUARTZ

Distinctive specimen from Brazil's Vaca Morta Quarry, where milky white quartz crystals are elegantly backdropped by rich blue dumortierite inclusions. The commanding central crystal displays an uncommon combination of prismatic and tabular terminations, complemented by a series of smaller prismatic points along its left margin. This balanced arrangement exemplifies the unique crystallization sequence found at this celebrated Bahia locality. The specimen's  scale, compelling crystal morphology, and aesthetic interaction between host and inclusion minerals position it as a great example of this classic Brazilian material.
