multi-tips Black Brazilian quartz
PUMI2593-1
This black quartz multi-tips cluster, remained untouched, comes from Brazil’s mineral deposits, known for their unique crystals with deep hues. This quartz, so dark it appears almost black, owes its color to a fascinating natural phenomenon: natural irradiation.
When aluminum impurities within the quartz are exposed to radioactive minerals such as uranium or thorium, often found in the surrounding granite, a gradual change in coloration occurs. The longer the exposure to radiation, the darker the quartz becomes. This phenomenon, observed in various regions around the world, is particularly prominent in Brazil due to the local geological conditions.
A piece that captures both light and imagination.
