Formation & geological history
Formed in hydrothermal veins where several minerals crystallized simultaneously or sequentially within a quartz host. Primarily associated with the Espirito Santo region of Brazil.
Uses & applications
Predominantly used for lapidary work, high-end collector cabochons, and in the metaphysical or healing crystal industry for jewelry.
Geological facts
Also known as Sacred Seven, it is unique because it combines seven different mineral species in one specimen, even if they are not all visible to the naked eye in every piece.
Field identification & locations
Identify by looking for quartz with distinct zones of amethyst and smoky color along with metallic or needle-like inclusions of red and gold. Found mainly in Brazil.
