Item Description

An excellent and very showy specimen featuring a gemmy Quartz crystal richly filled with brilliant, reddish-golden color Rutile needles from Diamantina. This sharp and well-formed Quartz crystal is doubly-terminated with only minor dings. The combination of Rutile included in Quartz is very desirable from Diamantina. This is classic material from an old East Coast collection, probably dating back around 40-50 years.
