Quartz var. Smoky "Egg" with Rutile Inclusions
Minas Gerais, Brazil

This is a slightly different shape for those of you who want to buck the trend of spheres. This nicely tapered egg is rife with fine Rutile needles, reflecting in the light with abandon. The countless threads have some orientation, but mostly seem to tangle together at random. With a good polish bringing out the luster of the Smoky Quartz, this is a delightful inclusion piece certain to stand out on display.
