Mango Quartz, a quartz specimen with halloysite inclusions, crystal on matrix from Cabiche Mine, Quípama, Boyacá, Colombia.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Magnificent specimen of Quartz with halloysite inclusion, commercially known as 'Cuarzo Mango'. The piece exhibits a polycrystalline habit, where a dominant crystal rises aerially above the basal group. The halloysite inclusions create an exceptional color zoning, with a base of creamy white quartz and an intense concentration of yellow pigmentation at the terminations. The aesthetic value is based on the strong tricolor contrast established by the black backing rock, the purity of the quartz, and the vibrant coloration at the apex.
