A double-terminated, water-clear Quartz crystal is seen with intergrown golden Rutile needles and inclusions of another
species that are now just hollow casts with rhombohedral crystal form. Most likely Calcite or Dolomite. From the classic
Brazilian locale for this combination. Individual Rutile needles reach about 1.5cm in length and are seen as inclusions in
the 4cm terminated clear Quartz crystal.
