This piece is centred around a beautiful petroleum quartz specimen, accompanied by an emerald-cut included imperial topaz, champagne diamond, spessartite garnet, and citrine. Together, these stones create a warm colour palette that guides the eye through the composition. Textured silver complements the natural inclusions within the crystals and frames the piece.
Under UV light, the liquid petroleum trapped within the quartz fluoresces with a vivid glow, revealing one of the stone's most fascinating features. These rare inclusions formed naturally when growing quartz crystals encountered pockets of liquid petroleum deep within the Earth, trapping tiny amounts of the substance as the crystal continued to develop. Alongside the petroleum, a small visible bubble of methane remains suspended within the liquid.
