This polished quartz crystal with red rutile inclusions, weighing 420 grams, originates from Karur, Tamil Nadu, India, a region renowned for its rutilated quartz deposits. The single crystal measures approximately 4.5 x 3 x 2 inches and features a well-terminated point with a smooth, glossy finish that enhances its clarity and reflective quality. The quartz body ranges from clear at the tip to milky towards the base, with internal veils and faint striations visible beneath the polished surface. A striking cluster of fiery red rutile needles, ranging from 0.3 to 0.7 inches (0.76 to 1.78 cm) in length, radiates from the termination, forming a fibrous, fan-like spray that contrasts vividly with the quartz’s pale tone. Additional red rutile strands are scattered throughout the crystal, with some finer needles embedded deeper within, visible through the clearer sections. Small, dark specks, likely hematite, are also present, adding to the geological complexity.
