From a reasonably well known Brazilian find comes this lovely faceted example of Quartz with bright reddish-orange iron oxide staining. We saw a small parcel of this material and selected this gem for its superb size and mix of intense colors. The contrast is quite impressive and we can’t recall having seen these so well done before. The beautiful reflections off the inclusions are difficult to capture in the photos, but quite impressive in-hand - gorgeous orange-red and bright yellow. Outstanding aesthetic and fantastic size; one of the best.
