Rutile epitaxially on Hematite in Smoky Quartz
Unknown Owner
Classic Novo Horizonte filaments of golden Rutile epitaxially overgrowing small plates of Specular Hematite, but with a twist - enclosed, or enveloped, within a bipyramidal Quartz crystal. It is like looking through a window into a magical world, or like looking inside a glass paperweight crowded with golden wires. The Quartz crystal, which is large miniature in size, is nicely terminated at both ends, but has a small area at the back missing where it was grown alongside another crystal which is no longer there. Classic Brazilian Rutile.
