Really Amazing Blue color in quartz

[Barrett]

I took some pics of this quartz crystal from Brazil, that has acicular Dumortierite inclusions inside it. I used to think Papagoite/ajoite was the top dog of blue color inside quartz....but...now I am now a believer that these specimens take the cake. The blue color is vibrant and rich, reminiscent of the hauyne or cobalt spinel we were discussing on the other thread.
I figured I would make a necklace out of this piece. Not sure what else to do with it.
By drilling a hole through the top with my itty bitty diamond bits, I can then mount a jump ring through it and wear it as a necklace.....sort of like my JXR ammy's that I did the same thing to.

I have a cab, and it's so cool! I'm with you about these specimens taking the cake. They really do! I look forward to seeing your finished necklace.

I lost the piece that holds the diamond drill bits in the dremel. It takes the insert with the smallest hole, and somewhere along the way, mine went missing. I ordered a new set off ebay, that was being shipped from China, go figure, and it took over 4 weeks to reach me, finally getting here last week. Come to find out, they don't fit the same Dremel I have. Sigh....I was hoping to drill some imperial topaz real soon.....not now.

As a fellow lover of amazing blues, your posts are very dangerous for me to read.

Wow, that is a very cool piece!! I love how the Dumortierite is "floating" in the quartz.

Here's a video of a cab (and the vendor where I got mine - he's a wonderful guy), if anyone would like to see: https://www.instagram.com/p/BVqm_3VBZ7G/?taken-by=stone.bender

Here is a cab that belongs to one of my contacts who sells this stuff.
Not a bad looking gemstone, if you ask me.

That's stunning! I love that you can see the crystals so clearly - and of course it helps that they're such a lovely shade of blue!

Just another indication that we should just pack it up and leave design to Mother Nature. So cool.
