A cushion-cut quartz containing striking dark green diopside inclusions scattered throughout the crystal, creating a dramatic contrast against the transparent host. This combination is sometimes called “Dragon Fruit Quartz,” with the inclusions resembling seeds suspended within the gem. The presence of diopside not only enhances the stone’s visual appeal but also makes each piece distinct, with natural patterns that can never be duplicated. Diopside is a calcium magnesium silicate most often formed in metamorphic rocks, and in this case, its dark green crystals provide a bold internal landscape within the quartz. Collectors and jewelry designers alike value these unusual quartz varieties for their individuality and strong visual impact.
