Item Description
A stunning sphere of quartz that has, floating within it, a highly unusual array of rutile crystals. We have often seen these quartz spheres with dense needles and clusters of rutile, but when have you seen rutile needles ON MATRIX, within a quartz inclusion? The straight needles, almost a dime a dozen so to speak...this, though, is something much more rare and special! It looks like floating islands of rock connected by golden lasers, within; and is so much more mesmerizing in person. From the collection of Jack Halpern, recently purchased. 483 grams. This sparkles and shines in the light, in a way hard to capture with the camera. It is because this is so elegant and subtle, not full of thick needles, that it is DIFFERENT; and why Jack bought it long ago.
