Item Description

This is a distinctive Quartz with the classic Rutile "needle" inclusions. You do not see these on the market very often, and they are simply some of the most attrative "inclusion" Quartz specimens from Pakistan. This piece is filled with very thin black color "needles" of Rutile in the slightly "smoky" Quartz prisms. It's not damage free, but still well-crystallized and a worthwhile piece for a collector. It could also be used in wire-wrapping or polished for lapiday purposes if you so choose.
