Item Description
A striking, water-clear, 3.0 cm, quartz crystal with dramatic stellate sprays of brilliant, golden-brown rultile blades epitaxial on hematite from Diamantina, Brazil. It is pristine save for trivial termination wear. The rutile inside is incredible. Older and very uncommon material from the Ed Bancroft Collection. Matrix specimens, such as this are RARE. Small, but choice.
