Description
This is an excellent specimen with a huge, 3.2 cm tall Rutile crystal embedded in brownish “Fettquarz”, which is massive Quartz with a greasy luster. The crystal is dark red-brown with striations on the prism faces. The terminations are partly buried in the matrix. The Rutile crystal has some cracks due to tectonic stress from his alpine environment. A Styrian classic, rare and sought after!
