Description
COPPER FLAME is an extraordinary rock crystal specimen with rutile and chlorite from the Himalayas. The striking crystal cluster immediately draws the eye with its warm copper to golden-brown tones, contrasting greenish chlorite, and distinctly formed quartz crystals.
Particularly fascinating are the numerous fine rutile inclusions concentrated throughout selected areas of the quartz. Depending on the viewing angle and light, they reveal intense golden, bronze, copper, and subtle reddish reflections, creating remarkable depth and an almost fiery appearance within the crystal.
Greenish chlorite is visible along the matrix and selected growth zones, providing a striking cooler contrast to the warm metallic tones of the rutile. The interplay of clear quartz, fiery rutile, and green chlorite gives COPPER FLAME its distinctive color palette and individual character.
Multiple crystals emerge from the matrix in different directions, creating a dynamic, sculptural architecture. Pronounced terminations, visible growth structures, and mineral inclusions continuously reveal new details as the specimen is viewed from different perspectives.
Weighing 140 g and measuring approximately 70 mm in height, COPPER FLAME is a compact yet highly expressive collector’s specimen with a strong visual presence.
The combination of clear Himalayan rock crystal, richly colored rutile, contrasting greenish chlorite, and its dynamic crystal architecture makes COPPER FLAME a unique and highly distinctive specimen.
