Golden Rutile Quartz Crystal Cluster – Skardu, Pakistan

Directly from the world-class mineral pockets of Skardu, this 42.6g cluster is a showcase of fine-needle Rutilation. The specimen features multiple interlocking Quartz crystals that act as natural magnifying windows, revealing an internal world of brilliant, straw-colored Rutile needles.

These "Venus Hair" inclusions are oriented in various directions, catching the light as you rotate the specimen and creating a beautiful golden "flash." The crystals possess sharp natural terminations and a bright, vitreous luster. At over 40mm in width and height, this cluster has a robust, three-dimensional architecture that makes it an exceptional center-piece for an inclusion-focused collection.
