This stone was first reported by the crystal author, Melody, in Love Is In The Earth, The Crystal and Mineral Encyclopedia, The LIITE Fantastic and The Last Testament, Earth-Love Publishing, 2007. She describes it as a conglomerate stone with coarse blue, pink, and rarely, greenish clasts (or fragments) in a fine-grained dark brown matrix. The blue clasts define the uniqueness of this formation in that they are rounded and noticeably opalescent, yet when magnified 600x they are colorless, displaying the optical properties of Quartz. They are not of Chalcedonic origin and not noticeably zoned, but often contain numerous liquid and vapor inclusions. These blue clasts also display undulatory extinction, a metamorphic event that affected the mineral combination without destroying the alignment of the components that generate the Rayleigh-Scattering which accounts for the blue color. The pink clasts are sub-rounded and largely Plagioclase or Sericite, while the rare green clasts are chloritized rock fragments with blue and pink constituents. [Melody En, 681], Approx 4 to 6cm.
