Medusa Quartz And Its Unique Appearance

One of the most interesting things about this gemstone is that it is a very polarizing item. A diamond is a gemstone that people look at and tend to universally agree that it is a gorgeous gemstone. This is definitely not the case for the medusa quartz. The gem itself is not very clear. It often is cloudy or banded, which is just one of the features that makes this gem unique. It also has patches that resemble moss. You will also notice irregular spots around the gem that are turquoise colored. This turquoise color is the result of the presence of a mineral called Gilalite. While some people may not appreciate the aesthetics of this gemstone, you can appreciate the fact that it is a rare gem in nature. The gem is mined in Brazil, in the same location that you can mine Paraiba Tourmaline. It is known as the medusa quartz because if you look at the formations of Gilalite, it almost looks like the tentacles of a jellyfish. medusa quartz
