location:
Ibitiara, Bahia, Brazil

description:
Beautiful glassy gem quality slightly smoky quartz crystal measuring 9.0 x 2.0 x 2.0 cm in size. This is mostly complete all-around as seen with only very minimal and tiny micro-chipping near the termination as seen. Bright brassy acicular crystals of rutile measuring to 1.5 cm in length are scattered on the backside, as well as thin platy metallic rutile crystals. These can be seen through the crystals to give the appearance of it inclusions within. Neat combination quartz specimen. Shipping weight: 0.24 pounds.
