Messina mine, Messina District, Limpopo Province, South Africa
A cluster of numerous Quartz crystals most of which have varying amounts of inclusions of Ajoite near the terminations. Most of the crystals also have inclusions of Hematite which is colored from reddish brown to black. There is also some bright green Tangeite present near the base of a couple of the crystals. The specimen is in excellent condtion with the exception of a broken crystal (right bottom corner of 1st photo, bottom front of 2nd photo). Although this was a much larger crystal than the rest, since it broke below the level of the other termination, it does not detract greatly from the appearance of the specimen.
