Description

This is an outstanding light smoky quartz crystal that is included by a rich nest of slender, hair-like, lovely, golden Rutile crystals! The density of the Rutile within the Quartz crystal seems to impart a light golden smoky, almost Citrine-like, hue to them - especially in the area of the crystal tip. The luster and gemminess of the Quartz is outstanding and it is remarkably nearly pristine. No damage other than a few small chips and the contact side of another grown crystal. This beautiful piece comes from an old collection. The old collection label is included.
