"Medusa Quartz" is also known as "Paraiba Quartz".
Because the small deposit was found in the Paraiba state of
Brazil. That's lead to the name "Paraiba quartz".
This new type of included quartz gemstone was discovered in
August 2004 in Brazil(Paraiba). At the time of the article,
about 10kg of crystals is all that has been found! It is very
rare and in very limited supply.
GIA has an article in Gems & Gemology, called "Medusa
Quartz" with gilalite inclusions in the Fall 2005, Volume
41, issue 3.
Under magnification, some resemble the shape of a floating jellyfish
named medusas rondeau. Thus the name Medusa quartz. This is
100% natural from the earth and indentification of the inclusions
were performed by the National Museum of Natural History in
Paris.
Gilalite is named after Gila Co. Arizona where it was first
discovered. Only this small deposit in Brazil(Paraiba) has produced
gilalite in quartz that can be cut into gemstones. Gilalite
is a very rare mineral in any form and the Christmas copper
mine in Arizona is well know to the mineral collectors for specimens.
