Item Description
An attractive specimen from this obscure locality featuring a single, very gemmy, well-formed Smoky Quartz crystal included with excellent red thin prismatic crystals of Rutile. The piece is similar to those from Brazil, but it's slightly rounded on the edge, presumably the result from tumbling in a stream or river. Good quality all around, and a nice oddball locality piece.
From the collection of David E Ziga, a geologist who graduated Miami (of Ohio) University in 2017, with a mineralogy background.
