Wonderful quartz with that green inclusion. Less common than the usual green chlorite, hedenbergite, fuchsite, byssolite, celadonite...
Your quartz collection is the most beautiful and varied I've ever seen.
Thank you for sharing those beauties with us.
Best regards.
Sante

You entertain us with many great photos of wonderful minerals, but your incredible collection of quartzes is really something special. I also love quartz, it became one of my favourite minerals during the last years, and thus I really enjoy the many many great examples of that mineral that can be seen here in your thread :-)
I hope for many many more to come ;-)
Regards
Tobi
