Interconnected pair of double-terminated Quartz crystals with a variety of inclusions including blue Dumortierite and bladed crystals of Hematite. Purchased at the 2021 Tucson show from a large lot of recently mined Quartz from this locality, this was one of only two crystals available with these interesting banded clay (?) inclusions. There is a blue band of Dumortierite through the center with tan colored inclusions in one termination and black metallic Hematite in the same termination. Thee is some contacting/indentations from other crystals but in good condition overall. Unusual Quartz for a Quartz collector.
