✨BRAND NEW FIND!!!
Petroleum quartz, or golden enhydro quartz, is a rare type of quartz containing trapped, ancient petroleum oil and water inclusions, often visible as yellow, liquid, or gas-filled pockets that glow neon blue or yellow under UV light. Forming over millions of years, these specific crystals were found in Andranotokana Massif in the Alaotra-Mangoro region of eastern Madagascar
The petroleum in these quartz crystals from Madagascar appeared brownish yellow and, as with many other petroleum inclusions in quartz, reacted to long-wave UV light with yellow to blue fluorescence Microscopic examination revealed numerous complex fluid inclusions containing obvious brownish yellow petroleum, a gas bubble presumed to be methane, dark solids of what was likely asphaltite, and a colorless immiscible liquid that was probably water Interestingly, in some fluid inclusions the methane bubble was mobile provided there was enough available space within the petroleum-filled cavities.
