Description

Quartz with blue globular inclusions.

I bought this specimen directly in Kaokoveld several years ago.

Tiny balls with intense blue color deep inside crystal clear quartz.

I can't determine 100% which blue mineral it is (Shattukite, Plancheite,...), but very interesting, small piece.
