[b]Hematite/Goethite Brooms[b]

I would be inclined to call these just Goethite Brooms,
but when it comes to inclusions in quartz, the color red is by and large called Hematite.
Or Lepidicrosite. But Lepidicrosite has a different structure from
Hematite or the Iron Oxides.
Color can often be a poor trait to identify a mineral by but when you are talking
about "inclusions in quartz" it is even more of a guessing game.
And the way this usually works, someone,(like Scott), is going to come along
and tell me it isn't any of the above mentioned possibilities. Wink
I would love to hear any opinions,
and I hope you enjoy these pics of the "Brooms".

A few more pics of Brazilian inclusions of a different type that
I have only guesses for.
One pic of the first type and three of another.

I just wanted to take one more look at this last little crystal
before it gets labeled, bagged, and hidden away in some box
around here never to be seen of again..
And I can't label it, properly anyway, until I know what the inclusions are. Huh
It looks like tourmaline to me,......maybe epidot.
Here's a pic of the whole crystal and then a couple close-ups.

I know, I know. The pics don't help much.
I wanted to get some pics of the areas in this crystal that
look like fish roe, but couldn't get close enough.
