Blue Quartz from Spain

There was a new find of the "blue" quartz made in Spain this past year and both Jordi Fabre and Juan Pena had specimens.  The blue is caused by inclusions of aerinite - a bluish colored mineral with the chemical formula:

Ca4(Al,Fe+++,Mg,Fe++)10Si12O36(CO3)·12(H2O)

The locality - Antequera, Malaga, Spain - is not new but the luster of the quartz in this new find has not been seen before.
