Description

This attractive quartz crystal is decorated with an abundant external coating of sagenite, creating a lively visual scene of coppery to golden needle-like formations on the surface of the clear quartz. The host crystal is transparent and natural in form, allowing the crystal structure to be appreciated from multiple angles and giving the specimen strong depth and character. When rutile forms in dense, clustered, or needle-like aggregates on or within quartz, it is referred to as sagenite. In this piece, the surface coating adds striking texture and visual interest, strongly enhancing its overall appeal.
