There are two tightly intergrown quartz crystals here, both doubly-terminated (the larger one has a healed lower termination). The top of the larger quartz is water-clear and gives a spectacular view of the golden, shimmering acicular rutile crystals inside. Chunky hematite is wrapped around the side of the two quartzes, and some hematite is also included inside the fatter quartz crystal.
