This is a great example of a new find out of brazil. At first glance it appears to be thick Rutile crystals, but actually it is iron coated Epidote. the Quartz is bright and lustrous. As was the case with 90% of this material, there is some damage to the right side as pictured. The inclusions are quite unique and we'll see if more comes out. It weighs 215 grams.
