These inclusions are naturally trapped hydrocarbons, prized by collectors for their rarity and scientific significance. The quartz is beautifully perched on a matrix of creamy white calcite, enhancing visual depth and balance. Well-defined crystal terminations and natural growth patterns highlight its authenticity and formation history. This specimen is completely natural, uncut, and unaltered. Ideal for mineral collectors, museums, or educational displays, it represents a fascinating intersection of mineralogy and petroleum geology from a renowned locality, with strong collector appeal.
