Quartz included with Rutile

Item Description

Quartz certainly would rank as the most "inclusion friendly" mineral out there, as a large number of other minerals are often found included inside Quartz crystals in nature. When polished, they can make for some interesting and unique gems. This stone is from the famous Diamantina area in Brazil. It's a fully faceted "Oval Brilliant" gem composed of colorless Quartz which plays host to superb, brilliant, lustrous, thin, acicular crystals of deep red color Rutile that just fill up the stone. A really special and eye-catching gem of this famous material. Priced at $1,250.20 retail from the previous dealer
