Description

A quartz crystal, slightly smoked, richly included by brilliant radiated rutile crystals of reddish-golden colour. These rutiles nucleated epitaxially in six radial directions, following the ternary axes of the tabular hematites crystals, visible at the base. A beautiful example that is a Brazilian classic. The quartz termination is incomplete, and could produce a gorgeous polished sample. Interestingly, at the central area there are a couple of colourless quartz inclusions.

Acquired in 1982 by Jan Sibtsen, #2794.
