Item Description
Scintillating sprays of golden rutile needles are dramatically emplaced in the large water-clear quartz crystal. Each of the sprays is rutile epitaxial on hematite plates. The sharp termination and the side car at the base add pizzazz. Excellent and absolutely classic for Brazil. For the size and style, this is a fine piece. 194 grams. valued $750-900 at least because this is a large crystal, with great inclusions and great color, and is NOT polished!
