Description
GOLDEN VEIL is an extraordinary rutilated quartz specimen from the Himalayas, distinguished by a delicate network of golden rutile needles visible within the crystal.
The clear to subtly smoky quartz contains numerous fine, hair-like rutile inclusions. Depending on the viewing angle and light, they reveal warm golden, bronze, and subtle copper-colored reflections, creating remarkable depth and giving the impression of a fine metallic veil suspended within the quartz.
The greenish mineralized matrix provides a striking natural contrast to the warm tones of the rutile. Together with the well-defined crystal faces and visible growth structures, it gives GOLDEN VEIL a complex and highly detailed appearance despite its compact dimensions.
As the specimen is viewed from different perspectives, shifting reflections and refractions continuously reveal new rutile structures and internal details, making GOLDEN VEIL particularly fascinating at close range.
Weighing 86 g without the acrylic stand and measuring approximately 50 mm in height, GOLDEN VEIL is a compact yet highly distinctive collector’s specimen, ideally suited for presentation in a sophisticated mineral collection or display case.
The combination of clear to subtly smoky Himalayan quartz, delicate golden rutile, and its contrasting greenish matrix makes GOLDEN VEIL a unique and highly individual specimen.
