Quartz with unusual inclusion of Tourmaline 10,77 ct

Very cool green needle shaped crystals included in quartz. Possibly tourmaline.

The crystals tightly fill the quartz with increasing size upwards. Occasionally single needles diverge into multiple crystals. The sudden transition from thin needles to coarser needles creates the image of a phantom crystal.

The needles yellow color are empty tubes filled by iron oxide.

Very rare and unusual texture for an inclusion in quartz.

Marquise cut cabochon.
