Very cool find

Hi 22shells, any chance you can take a photo of them outside in natural daylight, nice finds too by the way.

Given that it's so perfectly aligned with direction of the crystal, maybe it formed from the same solutions as the crystal itself, at the same time rather than quartz forming around pre-existing crystals of something else?

Pic of the 2 of them outside in natural daylight. Hard to get the right angle of 2 at once due to refraction. (diffraction?)

Here's another one in natural daylight Flowerpot. This one might be a bit better.

What shape are the black crystals ?

22shells · Mar 28, 2018

I'm not sure that the black is a crystal. They look round to me (in cross section) I can't see any flat faces like you get on tourmaline. The sides look a bit "fuzzy", almost like small gas swirls on the edges.

they are chlorite inclusions you'll find dark green to red and sometimes rare red and green inside quartz crystals used to look for them myself up near Rushworth Victoria.
