Rutile & Riebeckite incl. in Smoky Quartz (RARE) ex Obodda

Item Description

A VERY RARE and impressive smoky quartz combination from Zagi Mountain. A dramatic, sharply terminated, very glassy, water-clear smoky quartz crystal with rich color is strikingly and richly included with splendent golden rutile needles and lustrous, jet-black riebeckite needles (an uncommon Amphibole Group species). The longest needle (riebeckite) is about 4.5 cm long! The included side car crystals add pizzazz and form to this aesthetic combination. Both species included in smoky quartz is VERY RARE. The modest bit of noted bruising certainly has minimal impact to the outstanding quality of this exceptional combination rarity from the 2009-10 finds. Very choice and rare material from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. Valued at $1250-1500.
