Inclusions in Quartz

 

 

 

Quartz crystals grow in many types of environments along with many different minerals. These minerals, as well as gas bubbles, water and petroleum solutions, can become enclosed or trapped within the growing Quartz crystals. These "inclusions" have become a very popular gem collecting category with incredible beauty and variety. Below are some of the many types of inclusions found in Quartz gems.
