Glassy gemmy colorless crystals of quartz measuring to 3.0 cm in size heavily included with acicular crystals of rutile set on matrix. Some damage is present, this mainly on the backside of one grouping of crystals, overall I think in good condition. This comes with an antique label as shown at the end of the video and dates to the very early 20th century.
