This particular small cabinet specimen displays fine unpolished ajoite stunning inclusion in clear quartz.

The quartz crystal is fully terminated with some ajoite scattered on top of the termination. There is another zone right underneath the above section which is about 1.7 cm in width. It is very rare to see the inclusion sections so richly concentrated with ajoite. Some red native copper specks and veins are also present.
