Item Description
This is an exceptional polished quartz crystal for display, or jewelry use both, that shows really dramatic inclusions of a starburst of rutile radiating out from a sharp crystal of hematite. The orientation of both, and the cut of the stone to accent it, makes this a gorgeous specimen of inclusions. Alex bought it from a jewelry dealer at a small show in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1996!
