AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
122 g Rare Quartz Mango Halloysite rough Cabiche Quipama Colombia, discovered 2017
Harmonious cluster of young prismatic quartz crystals. Exceptional floating assemblage, composed of a bi-terminal single-crystal prismatic quartz with double mango terminations, and Limonite. Consists of shimmering young crystals.
None of my quartz has been cleaned with oxalic acid, only with a Karcher.
- Unique origin SOLD OUT: Cabiche emerald mine, Quipama Municipality, Boyacá Department, Colombia.
- Dimensions: 10 × 5.60 × 5.50 cm
- Weight: 122 g
An incredible new discovery in 2017, quartz with bright yellow tips unique in the world, initially thought to be inclusions of Humboltidine published in Rocks & Minerals magazine.
Today we lean toward halloysite (See The Mineral Kingdom, issue: 154).
The coloration from white (coconut) to orange-yellow (mango) appears mainly in the fibres of the crystals, rather than on the surface. The surface coloration due to iron oxides has been ruled out.
The first crystal was displayed for $8,350 at the Tucson Mineral Show (see photo).
There were very few matrix specimens and they sold very quickly.
