| Abstract The article presents the results of complex gemological research of faceted pink quartz insert, which is characterized by a significant number of inclusions. The main gemological characteristics were examined, microscopic examination of internal inclusions, the study by qualitative X-ray fluorescence analysis (EXDRF) as well as IR-Fourier spectroscopy were conducted. The set of the obtained results indicates that the studied sample contains three types of inclusions - protogenetic, syngenetic and epigenetic. |
| Keywords: quartz, mineral inclusions, complex gemological studies, protogenetic inclusions, syngenetic inclusions, epigenetic inclusions. |
