One more quiz for inclusions fans. My first "mysterious inclusions" quiz was solved in one day, hope this one will still alive a little bit longer! You have to identify the inclusions, the host mineral and the country of origin for this stone.

Awesome photos - very cool specimin! Here is my best guess after doing some checking: Is it a Starburst of Hollandite inclusion found in a "SpiderQuartz" from Madagascar??? Thanks so much for posting. -Katy B

How about a starburst of iron compound - Citrine from Brazil... But, you did say that it can't be found in the photoatlas... So, alas, this is probably wrong. Still fun trying!
