Hold this quartz point up to the light and you will find two kinds of inclusions at once. This quartz point holds both rutile and phantoms, so there is something new to find every time you turn it.
The rutile runs through the crystal in shiny metallic lines that pick up light, and the phantoms are outlines of earlier growth stages, left behind when minerals settled on the point and were sealed in as the crystal kept growing. Together they give the point real depth when you hold it up to a window or a lamp. At about 3.25 inches tall, it fits in your palm, on a desk or in a collector's cabinet, and the close up photo shows the inclusions. It makes a thoughtful gift for a quartz collector or anyone who likes looking into a stone rather than at it. This is the exact point shown.
The point is about 3.25 by 2.875 by 1.75 inches. Look at the ruler photo for scale.
About Rutilated and Phantom Quartz
Rutilated quartz is quartz with needle shaped inclusions of rutile, usually golden but sometimes silver, red or black, and collectors choose it for those inclusions. A phantom is the outline of an earlier crystal surface inside the quartz, visible because of a change in composition or a film of mineral inclusions at the boundary between growth stages.
Stone Meaning: Rutilated quartz is traditionally associated with clarity and abundance.
