Quartz with Phlogopite and Aegirine Inclusions – Natural Crystal
Notonlyrocks
70,00
€
This is a natural quartz crystal with phlogopite and aegirine inclusions, offered as an authentic collector mineral specimen.
The quartz crystal shows good transparency with clearly visible internal inclusions of phlogopite mica and aegirine, creating complex internal patterns and strong visual contrast. The inclusions appear as dark, platy and needle-like structures enclosed within the quartz, highlighting the crystal’s growth history.
Such multi-mineral inclusion quartz specimens are valued by collectors for their mineralogical interest, as they document simultaneous crystallization of different mineral species under evolving geological conditions.
The specimen is completely natural and untreated. No polishing, repair, or artificial enhancement has been applied. All photographs show the exact specimen you will receive.
Suitable for advanced mineral collections, cabinet displays, and educational reference collections.

Quartz is a silicon dioxide mineral (SiO₂) crystallizing in the trigonal crystal system. It commonly forms prismatic crystals with well-developed terminations.
In this specimen, quartz encloses phlogopite, a magnesium-rich mica forming platy inclusions, and aegirine, a sodium iron pyroxene forming needle-like or prismatic inclusions. Such combined inclusions indicate crystallization in alkaline or pegmatitic environments and record complex mineral growth stages.

Such combined inclusions indicate crystallization in alkaline or pegmatitic environments and record complex mineral growth stages.
Quartz crystals with phlogopite and aegirine inclusions are typically associated with alkaline pegmatites and related igneous environments, where multiple mineral species crystallize in close succession.
Specimens showing both inclusions together are relatively uncommon and are appreciated by collectors for their geological significance.
