Quartz with Hydrocarbon Inclusions
These are gorgeous clear Quartz pieces with various hydrocarbon inclusions, sometimes including solids, liquids, and gases.
While we are not able to determine the exact makeup of the inclusions, they are hydrocarbon based, typically in the form of gas bubbles - possibly methane, yellow liquids - generally referred to as petroleum, or black solids - possibly bituminous or asphaltene. They may also have some air bubbles in water or another liquid.
Certain pieces of the hydrocarbon inclusions are extremely UV fluorescent - and they make excellent pieces for examination under a microscope.
Our current stock:
- Hydrocarbon/petroleum included Quartz from Baluchistan, Pakistan. Fantastic pieces, they are mostly double terminated crystals (a termination, or 'point' at each end) and brightly fluorescent under 365nm. I think all of these would make a great micromount/thumbnail specimen.
- Ten grams packets from Baluchistan, Pakistan, typically consisting of 3-5 pieces. Small, but incredibly well formed!
- Hand picked specimens from Baluchistan, Pakistan.
