Discover the fascinating beauty of ‘Mango Quartz’, a unique mineral found exclusively in Colombia. ‘Mango Quartz’ has a distinctive orange colour created by halloysite inclusions in the quartz. These inclusions give the quartz a special, vibrant colour reminiscent of the juicy fruit from which it takes its name. The mixture of transparent and milky areas within the quartz creates an extraordinary visual effect that stands out in any mineral collection.

Halloysite inclusions for a vibrant orange colour

‘Mango Quartz’ owes its characteristic, intense orange colour to the fine inclusions of halloysite trapped in the quartz. Halloysite forms microscopic needles embedded in the interior of the quartz, giving it its vibrant colour. This shade is unmistakable and ranges from bright orange to soft yellow tones, which combine perfectly with the natural transparency of the quartz. This unique effect makes each ‘mango quartz’ a fascinating one-of-a-kind piece that delights mineral lovers.

A harmonious interplay

The special beauty of ‘mango quartz’ lies in its unique combination of transparency and milky colouring. This interesting mixture gives the quartz a deep, three-dimensional quality that captures and reflects light in a variety of ways. The transparent areas allow a deep view into the interior of the crystal, while the milky parts of the quartz create a soft appearance. The result is a fascinating play of light and colour that makes ‘mango quartz’ a distinctive highlight in any collection.
