This gem is aptly named 'Blueberry Quartz' to perfectly describe its vivid blueberry colour. Incredibly scarce due to the characteristics of the rock where it is found, Blueberry Quartz comprises less than 0.01 percent of Brazil's total production of Quartz gemstones. This scarcity is further complicated by extraction difficulties; the mine is over 150 metres deep and very damp. Now for the bad news... the Montezuma Quartz Mine has not produced any Blueberry Quartz for six months leading some to believe it's now depleted. With an everyday durability and a deliciously sounding name, it's easy to fall for the affordable fruity hues of Blueberry Quartz.<br /><br />Today's other highlights include Alexandrite Jewellery and Santa Rosa Tourmaline Jewellery.<br /><br />So join Tony Diniz and Victoria Burton LIVE on Freeview 40, Sky 642 or watch online at <a href="http://www.rocksandco.com">www.rocksandco.com</a>.
