Recent find. Central WI is not known for having blue or purple Quartz. I have found several pieces of purple/violet, but this is the first with blue/aqua. More evidence that my land is very geologically unusual. The aqua color may be due to trace amounts of malachite. Found a piece of that which a local geologist was amazed by, as he said that is not found in this area.  |

How really interesting that is . What did the geologist say about how far it traveled? Is it really fractured like a long and hard journey before you found it as float and rescued it? Here's a couple pictures of a Blue Quartz and another that appears more opaque like your find. |

Attributed to glacial activity. Possibly from Canada or further North. No, not fractured. Looks like it was embedded in glacier and ended up here with the melting. Just gently placed.
I have a blue/gray Quartz a friend gave me from Mt. Rushmore. It looks like the ones in your first photo. Posted a photo of the blue Quartz and Malachite a while back here.
I love ll of the interesting things I am finding. Each one is an adventure and learning experience for me. Also I have to play detective and figure out what it is. Still have hundreds I have no clue on, but they are not your "normal" rocks.

coloradocliff Here is the blue Quartz I have from Mt. Rushmore. Received from a great friend. She was given this as part of her journey to become a Medicine Woman from her mentor. He told her it was removed centuries ago, long before there was even a Mt. Rushmore. She had 2 pieces. Her Mentor, told her to give me this one as part of my Shamanic journey. This was over 20 years after she received it. I love how powerful this stone is. It is predominantly placed where I can see it often.

The second photo also shows the Citrine crystals within the stone.

Looks like iron stains on a blue quartzite.

View AttachmentView AttachmentView Attachment I find the story more interesting than the rock. I try to be a defender of the native Americans but have not been as good at it as I should have. My son has zero native American blood but his friends that do say he is more native than they are. I truly believe the Native Americans have the inside track on spirituality and a greater knowledge of the spirit world than all the orga..... re....... combined (don't want to start a s..t storm)  I am not knowledgeable but believe that a great deal of the ancient knowledge has been lost through genocide, murder, disease, stolen children etc etc by the European "christians". Not really a topic for here but I wanted you to know that I am impressed by anyone native or not that understands where we came from and that we are very much in the wrong place with nature. Jim |
