Goethite Included Quartz is a fascinating variety of quartz containing inclusions of the iron oxyhydroxide mineral goethite. These inclusions commonly appear as fanned, acicular, radial, or needle-like formations, creating intricate internal landscapes within the clear to smoky quartz host.
Often misidentified as cacoxenite; however, cacoxenite is a separate mineral with no relation to goethite and is yet to be confirmed as an inclusion in quartz.
The inclusions formed when iron-rich minerals were present during quartz crystal growth. As silica-rich fluids crystallised into quartz, oxidised iron precipitated as goethite and became trapped within the growing crystal. In some specimens, the goethite crystals continue to grow beyond the quartz, occasionally protruding from the surface.
Goethite inclusions can appear black, bronze, gold, or sometimes red, producing striking contrast against the quartz. Each specimen displays completely unique patterns and structures, making them particularly popular for cabochons and with collectors.
Goethite-included quartz can be found worldwide; however, Ouarzazate Province, Drâa-Tafilalet Region, Morocco, is known for producing particularly beautiful and impressive specimens.

Payment plans are not applicable for items that are discounted or on sale.
1. A 25% NON-REFUNDABLE down payment is required to initiate the payment plan and reserve the item(s), due immediately upon receipt of the first invoice. This 25% will be of the total purchase price including shipping and taxes (if applicable). If you’d like to put down more than 25%, we can adjust the remaining payments accordingly.

The number of payments is subject to discussion with a member of staff who will work closely with clients to custom tailor payment plans.
3. Clients will receive an invoice to initiate payment – subsequent invoices will be emailed to you monthly. Cancellation or failure to pay invoices with a lapse of 10 days will result in cancellation of the payment plan and forfeiture of the item and 25% non-refundable deposit and admin fee. Any amount paid in excess of the non-refundable deposit would be refunded via the method of payment used.
4. There is no penalty for early payment. At any time, clients may reach out to a sales team member to pay the remaining balance in full.
5. Upon completion of the payment plan in full, the specimen(s) will be shipped to the client.
6. Items purchased via payment plan are subject to a no-refund policy. Items may be returned at the expense of the buyer for credit equal to the item price (minus taxes and shipping costs) to be applied to any other full price item in inventory. Unused credit will not be refunded in these cases.
