Description/Interesting Notes:
An incredible, old time example of rose quartz with rutile inclusions!!! This specimen consists of a very fine, well crystallized cluster of
undamaged rose quartz crystals that host a significant network of rutile inclusions and has an unidentified white mineral in association as well!!!
The rose quartz crystals are sharp, complex, lustrous and translucent!!! The crystals have a rich pink color that is partially influenced by needle-like inclusions of
rutile!!! While it is difficult to see in the photos, in person it is much easier to see the fine, yellow pin-straight crystals of rutile included within!!! This specimen is
completely clean on the outside - all of the coloration is within the crystals - the orangey color is entirely the result of networks of
the needle-like inclusions!!! This is the only such included example of rose quartz I have ever seen!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! The unknown associated species is quite intruiging as well!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS
WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 23rd!!!
