Dumortierite quartz is primarily composed of silicon dioxide (SiO2), which is the chemical composition of quartz, along with inclusions of dumortierite (Al₃(BO₃) (SiO₃) ₂), which is an aluminum borosilicate mineral.   It was discovered in 1881. 

• Color: Dumortierite quartz typically exhibits a blue to violet-blue color due to the presence of dumortierite inclusions, although it can also occur in other colors such as pink, brown, or gray.
• Luster: Vitreous to dull.
• Crystal System: Quartz: trigonal
• Hardness: 7 on the Mohs scale, the same as quartz.
•  Crystal Form: Typically occurs as prismatic hexagonal crystals, but often forms massive aggregates with fibrous texture due to the inclusion of dumortierite.
