Self Healed Mulanje Smokey Quartz Floater Crystal Formations
The Zomba Plateau in Malawi is a fascinating hotspot for mineral collectors, offering a diverse array of minerals within a matrix of Orthoclase. The standout among these is Smokey Quartz, which ranges from dark, gemmy varieties to deep Morion and pitch-black forms. Some of these Quartz specimens feature Aegirine inclusions, while rarer inclusions of Riebeckite and Rutile add extra intrigue.
