Quartz, Rutile, Chlorite

Scimfuss, Pontino Alp, Tremola Valley, Airolo, Leventina, Ticino, Switzerland

7,4×3,8×2,5 cm.

From Scimfuss, a complex and intricate network of golden reflections needles of Rutile has grown internally within this Quartz crystal, especially in the innermost part, leaving the transparency of the outermost area unaltered. This feature can already be considered a rarity, considering that it is an alpine piece, but its uniqueness lies in the fact that during growth, and only in the upper zone, green Chlorite covered the Rutile needles, resulting in a final bicolored crystal. Ultimately this is a very interesting and rare specimen with excellent display. Custom base included.
