Hematite & Rutile in Quartz (RARE combo - October, 2017)

Item Description

A TRIPLY RARE and dramatic small cabinet combination from an October, 2017 find at the well-known Alpine-type deposits at Tormiq. Sharp, euhedral quartz crystals are very uncommon in themselves. Hematite is RARE, usually as classic "iron roses". Rutile is rarer still! This well-formed 360-degree pristine water-clear quartz crystal with silky lustre stepped-growth faces has three exotic jagged sharp terminations. The quartz is stunningly included with, perhaps UNIQUE, a 1.7 cm lustrous metallic hematite plate and wine-red cross-hatched rutile needles in the termination! A remarkably rare combination included quartz crystal from Tormiq.
