Multiple Enhydro Quartz With Pyrite & Moving Sediment

This exceptional specimen features multiple fluid inclusions, each alive with motion — both fine-grained sediment and larger chunky pieces fall and swirl within the crystal’s interior when gently tilted. Scattered among the fluid chambers are brilliant pyrite inclusions, shimmering like golden stars within the water-clear quartz.

Madagascar continues to surprise the mineral world with its complex enhydro formations, but few display this level of clarity, pyrite presence, and multi-layered movement. This specimen sits among the finest examples of its kind — equal parts geological rarity and kinetic art.

Features:

• Locality: Madagascar
• Weight: 214 g
• Dimensions: 76 × 55 × 37 mm
• Inclusions: Multiple enhydros with mobile fluid, chunky & fine falling sediment, and pyrite crystals
• Transparency: High clarity with internal lensing and rainbows

Why it’s exceptional: This is not a simple enhydro — it’s a living microcosm within quartz. The large internal cavities contain both mobile fluid bubbles and two distinct sediment types that interact dynamically: dense, bulky grains and lighter, dust-like particles that drift and resettle with each turn. The pyrite inclusions add another dimension of brilliance, catching and scattering light among the fluid inclusions.

Care: Avoid direct sunlight and heat/cold exposure to preserve the fluid inclusions. Do not use ultrasonic cleaning.
