Item Description
Here we have an excellent and very showy specimen from the famous Diamantina locality in Brazil featuring a razor-sharp, lustrous, colorless, water-clear Quartz crystal featuring a "feather"-like group of brilliant, silvery Rutile needles and a few MICRO orange-red bladed Brookite crystals. The combination of rutile and brookite included in quartz is very uncommon from Diamantina, but please note the Brookite crystals a very small and you will need at least a loupe to see them. From the collection of Rolando Gioia (a contributor to new definitive book on Brazilian minerals: "Minerais e Pedras Preciosas do Brasil").
