Bizarre seems almost too tame a word to describe this oddity. A polished slice from a Smoky Quartz crystal, there is a dense ‘nest’ of what is likely Rutile that is confined, miraculously, to the core of the crystal with an abrupt stop well before the edges. One can only imagine the formation, or series of formations, that were required to produce such a thing. Lovely gemological object and , certainly, one-of-a-kind.
