S12156 – Rutile

Much better in person and 100% MESMERIZING. In the mineral kingdom there is nothing quite like transparent
quartz filled with distinct acicular rutile crystals. Literally tons of yellow inclusions have been mined from Novo
Horizonte for the lapidary trade whereas Diamantina produced only a few isolated pockets of the much rarer
reddish needles. Such solid inclusions of rutilated quartz make spectacular mineral specimens.
