    Default included quartz

    I'm looking for small included (chlorite, mica, mixed rutile) quartzes - ideally faceted and rectangular-ish, although cabs in that kind of shape, or even more freeforms at a push. They do need some kind of green inclusion and ideally be under 7mm on the longest side. I've tried all my usual suspects, anyone have any ideas?
    Much appreciated!

    I can only think of Marcia Lanyon as having nice Quartz but maybe not what you need Lydia

    I've got a few pieces of tourmilated quartz from Marcia Lanyon, so entirely possible they'll have something suitable.

    Did you get anywhere with this Lydia? If not, how about Moss Agate? That would be green inclusions within a clear / tending to opaque matrix...

    Have you tried gemgazer.com - Jon has pages of included quartz in all shapes and sizes.
