MANGO QUARTZ MADNESS… STRAIGHT FROM COLOMBIA!

MANGO QUARTZ MADNESS… STRAIGHT FROM COLOMBIA!
THIS IS PURE SUNSHINE IN CRYSTAL FORM!
Just LOOK at this absolutely gorgeous Mango Quartz cluster from the famous Cabiche locality in Quípama, Western Boyacá Province, Boyacá Department, Colombia!
The crystal architecture on this beauty is something special! An incredible spray of elongated, beautifully terminated Quartz crystals rising from a delicate matrix, each showcasing those unmistakable golden-yellow to mango-orange tips!
And here’s what makes these crystals so fascinating…
That incredible tropical coloration comes from microscopic inclusions of Halloysite, a clay mineral concentrated near the crystal terminations, creating a spectacular transition from nearly colorless Quartz to glowing golden-yellow tips!
The contrast is simply MAGICAL!
Beautiful radiating crystal formation
Vibrant golden-yellow Mango tips
Gorgeous transparency and natural luster
Sharp, elegant crystal terminations
Cabiche, Quípama, Western Boyacá Province, Boyacá Department, Colombia
What makes this locality even more interesting is its location within Colombia’s legendary emerald-producing region, near the famous Muzo mining district.
Although known earlier, these distinctive Mango Quartz specimens gained international collector attention following important finds in 2017. They’ve since become modern classics in the fine mineral world! 
THE COLORS. THE FORM. THE NATURAL ARTISTRY.
Nature really outdid itself with this one!
Some minerals demand attention with intense saturation. Others captivate with delicate beauty.
THIS ONE DOES BOTH!
