Blue Needle Quartz (#1)
Blue Needle Quartz (#1)
Low stock: 1 left
Origin: Bahia, Brazil 🇧🇷 | Weight: 522g | Size: 6"
Blue Needle Quartz is one of the rarest optical phenomena in the mineral world. The vivid blue color is not a dye or treatment — it is a completely natural result of the Tyndall effect, caused by microscopic inclusions scattering light within the crystal matrix. The result is a luminous, shifting blue that changes with the angle of light.
This specimen was hand-sourced from Bahia, Brazil — the primary origin for high-quality Blue Needle Quartz — and hand-selected for exceptional clarity and needle visibility. Unlike the majority of pieces on the market, this crystal retains as much of its natural surface as possible, with only a light polish on select faces to bring the inclusions into focus.
Collector Notes:
- Natural blue color — no dyes, no treatments, no enhancements
- Tyndall effect visible from multiple angles
- Minimally processed; natural surface preserved where possible
- Hand-selected from thousands of crystals for clarity and needle density
- Sourced directly from a trusted Bahia supplier
Pieces with clear points and strong blue needle visibility are exceptionally difficult to source. This is a genuine collector-grade specimen.
