The Beauty and Rarity of Durtiarite in Quartz

* * See Mortiarite in Quartz (Dumortierite in Quartz): Blue Sculpture of the World Mineralogy and Gemological Sciences * *

The natural phenomenon that a type of mineral thrives interpolates within the crystals of a transparent Host Mineral is one of the wonders that marvel the global field of gemology and mineral accumulation. One of the most prominent and highly valued examples is the discovery of a dark blue Dumortierite mineral defilement, a needle-like shape or hair line, lined up as a halo inside a clear quartz crystal.

The common occurrence of these two minerals requires a very specific geological environment, the main housing mineral being quartz, which has the chemical formula SiO2 (silicon dioxide), etc.

In the view of gemology, the durtiarite in quartz is considered a gem that greatly challenges the uncut's ability; because the internal stigma has an uncertain alignment pattern, the uncut mechanic must analyze the raw mineral nodules thoroughly to carry out the cut for the durtiarite needle line group to be located centered.

The price of this mineral is highly variable according to the aesthetic indicators mentioned, with current market estimates as follows:

* * * Start to General Grade: * * 1,500 - 5,000 Baht

* * * High Quality Grade: * * 10,000 - 30,000 Baht per Carat

* * * Premium Collector's Grade: * * Starting at 50,000 Baht
