Brilliant, metallic black Rutile Needles aesthetically filled, in the form of a "tree", a slight hand-polished Quartz crystal from Seminário Farm, Joaquim Felício, Minas Gerais, Brazil.  The centered Rutile Needle "tree" is a very rare and striking feature.  The Quartz crystal is completely transparent and very lustrous.  This is among the brightest and showiest examples I have seen.  A one-of-a-kind specimen from this classic locality and essentially pristine.  Comes with a high quality acrylic display box.
