Description
Cherry Tanzurine is the trademarked name for a recent discovery of Quartz with Lepidolite inclusions from Tanzania. It crystallized in mass formations and its hue of color is based on the amount of Lepidolite impurities within. What is so fascinating about this stone is its unique hardness even with it containing the soft mica mineral. It was discovered by Jonathan Bartky on the Massai Tribal land in northern Tanzania.
