Description
GOLDEN NEEDLE is an extraordinary rock crystal specimen with rutile and chlorite from the Himalayas. Its slender, well-defined form combines exceptional clarity in the upper section with a fascinating concentration of mineral inclusions toward the base.
Fine rutile needles within the quartz reveal warm golden, bronze, and subtle copper-colored reflections as the viewing angle and light change. Greenish chlorite adds a cooler mineral contrast and further enhances the depth and complexity of the crystal.
Particularly striking is the transition from the highly transparent upper section to the increasingly mineral-rich lower portion. This natural progression emphasizes the elongated architecture of the crystal and allows the rutile and chlorite to appear almost suspended within the clear quartz.
The slender proportions and pronounced termination give GOLDEN NEEDLE an elegant, refined silhouette, while shifting reflections and subtle refractions continuously reveal new internal details from different perspectives.
Weighing 46 g and measuring approximately 60 mm in height, GOLDEN NEEDLE is a compact yet highly distinctive collector’s specimen.
The combination of clear Himalayan rock crystal, fine golden rutile needles, greenish chlorite, and its elegant crystal architecture makes GOLDEN NEEDLE a unique and highly individual specimen.
