This very large crystal of transparent, lustrous, smoky quartz is heavily included by golden, elongated, rutile needles. There is also a small, flattened, white, crystal of an unknown species which has been impaled by the rutile needles. There is a HUGE conchoidal cleave taking off the backside, out of view. Hence the cheap price. Its true that there is chatter at the termination, but this is a significant specimen, and very beautiful nonetheless
