This find of around two years ago in Madagascar was just so exciting - because rarely do you get inclusions as striking and dramatic as this. Inside this clear quartz crystal, you can clearly see three purple fluorite crystals (one of them smaller than the other two) that formed on the surface of the quartz crystal as it was growing, and then were engulfed when the quartz continued to grow after that. Now there they are, floating mysteriously inside the quartz! This one is in great shape, too.
