Very nice specimen, Mike. I like the quartzes from that locality, they have a wonderful alpine character, very clear and often with spectacular inner life of chlorite. Your specimen shows what makes this locality so interesting.
Great photo of a very beautiful quartz!

Thanks Tobi! I don't see too many that have the rutile inclusion.
