Description

A cut and polished section of a quartz crystal containing a beautiful lattice of rutile crystals. The rutile crystals have a bright almost-metallic sheen under the lights, and under magnification once can see how intricate and delicate the rutile crystals are, protected within the quartz. A very nice specimen from the John S. White collection.
