Recently I have gotten into studying quartz crystals with Biotite Inclusions from Skardu, Pakistan. This is one that I recently added to my collection. Cheesy

Thanks for the second pic, John. It helps. Smiley
Very pretty color in those crystals.
Just for confirmation, are those long singular "sheets" or "blades" of mica
included in the crystal?

BTW; I know how you like study pieces so am surprised you haven't made
on the Big Ugly from Coopers Ridge I'm auctioning off in the thread next to this one.
There's been quite a flurry of activity for it lately! Grin

Yes mica is included in the xl and all sorts of micro groups in the xl.  Have a real nice gem quality smoky from this location and two more of this grade enroute from Pakistan.  Did not know about your auction.  Will check that out next. Cheesy Cheesy
