2.6" Rutilated Quartz Crystal Cluster - Brazil
This is a beautiful rutilated quartz crystal cluster that was collected from Brazil. It measures 2.6" wide and contains sprays of golden rutile throughout the crystals. The lustrous dark-grey mineral that can be found along the base of these crystals is hematite.
