Smoky Quartz w/ Rutile inclusions (Schlichter Coll.)

Item Description

Doubly your pleasure with this fine pair of high-quality California smoky quartz crystals. These crystals have the clarity and color quality of classic Swiss pieces and are much more uncommon. These two are rarer, still, as they are included with starbursts of rutile needles. The large tabular crystal has a very interesting contacted and undamaged termination and has embedded feldspar. The smaller crystal has a contacted termination face, with only the slightest of bruising. A very nifty and rare combination pair from this locality in Death Valley National Park. Ex Schlichter Collection.
