Comments:
Large cabochon gem of Quartz, with a bright, defined, star of golden rutile that is growing off of dark hematite crystals.
Gems of this material are all interesting, but this particular example is outstanding. Everything about it, from its attractive inclusions to its hefty size, make this a gem of rare quality.
It is hard to imagine a better example of this rare and beautiful combination, found only at the mines in Novo Horizonte, Brazil.
