Description

Sizeable quartz specimen containing several sprays of golden rutile from this classic locality. Quartz is greyish, with good transparency and lustre, and on the main display side even shows a few faces, while conchoidal surfaces dominate the vast majority of the specimen. Rutile well shows on most display sides, with excellent lustre and fine to long tabular habitus. Sprays diverge from different nucleation centres. Minor peripheral damage on the tips and apexes.

A classic Brazilian specimen from the 70s. It could possibly be cut to highlight the rutile sprays to perfection. 

Former collection Kasper (CH), dated back to the 60s.
