About the Item
Quartz (with multi-zoned inclusions)
Novo Horizonte, Bahia, Brazil
19.1 cm tall x 12.9 cm wide
12% of the Earth’s crust is quartz, making it among the most common of all mineral species. Discovering a new type of quartz is nearly unprecedented.
The array of colors within this crystal is unrivaled. The color zoning tells quite a story. It begins as clear quartz, then transitions to green chlorite or celadonite inclusions, amethyst intermixed with citrine, red hematite, more green celadonite, then amethyst again, and finally terminating in yellow colored by goethite or rutile inclusions.
This crystal was discovered a few years ago along with a few other smaller examples. This one may be the largest and finest preserved from this isolated discovery. To reveal their inner magnificence these crystals were sliced and polished. The evolution of growth within this crystal is likely unique in the world.

Measures: 14.4 cm tall x 11 cm wide
Precious opals are a hydrated amorphous form of silica (amorphous meaning a non-crystallized solid), unlike crystalline forms of silica, which are classed as minerals. Australia is the locality most associated with precious opal. The precious opals of Ethiopia were only discovered recently in 2008.
Opals are formed over thousands of years when rain frees spherical silica particles from sandstone. These microscopic particles spread deep into underground cavities and are then compressed into a closely-packed interlaced structure. When miners bring them forth from the earth to the surface, sunlight travels through this microstructure creating the dazzling kaleidoscope of flashing rainbow colors that we see here.
This opal may be unique. The colors are like no other we have seen from Ethiopia. There are several names given to opal (Black Opal, Boulder Opal, Fire opal, etc.). This piece begins an entirely new genre - Candy Opal.
