PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Hidden Gems of the Zomba Plateau: A Unique Mineral Wonderland
The Zomba Plateau in Malawi is a fascinating hotspot for mineral collectors, offering a diverse array of minerals within a matrix of Orthoclase. The standout among these is Smokey Quartz, which ranges from dark, gemmy varieties to deep Morion and pitch-black forms. Some of these Quartz specimens feature Aegirine inclusions, while rarer inclusions of Riebeckite and Rutile add extra intrigue. Recent finds have even uncovered Green Chlorite inclusions and phantoms, making these pieces even more desirable.
