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.

No dice anywhere so seeing if someone can cut me a custom piece.

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...

I may soon be in a position to assist. It appears I'm soon to be a Facetron owner... in fact I already am, but it has yet to arrive and of course I still have to get to grips with it. If you have any other lines of enquiry open then please follow them. If not, let me know, I'm keen to make it into early productive use.

I'm not suggesting these - they're not quartzes, but a sample of my handiwork - pre-facetter, cut, bevelled and polished by hand approx 10mm long.
