17.07 ct. Quartz with Covellite

One of the most interesting inclusion Quartzes of the last several years has been this Quartz with Covellite from Brazil.  When rotated under a light source the Covellite will produce a bright pink flash across the surface - not surprisingly this has been marketed as "pink fire" Quartz.  Unfortunately there has been little production since the original find and we have seen no more top quality examples.  This gem is certainly representative of the material at its finest - the Quartz is large and clean and the Covellite is generous and well placed.   The flash across the surface and among the finest we have had.  Great stone and now impossible to replace.
