Quartz w/ Rutile Inclusion
​Coldfoot, Alaska
​Approx: 5.2 x 2.2 cm 

Quartz with Rutile Coldfoot Alaska
Rutilated Quartz from Coldfoot, Alaska
Rare Alaskan Quartz with Rutile Inclusion Coldfoot Alaska
Here's a wonderful quartz crystal from a very uncommon locale, Coldfoot, Alaska. Coldfoot was originally a mining camp called Slate Creek. It got the name "Coldfoot" around the turn of the century when prospectors going up the nearby Koyukuk River would get "cold feet" and turn around. The camp had 2 roadhouses, 2 stores, 7 saloons, a gambling house and a post office. At the time of the 2010 census, Coldfoot had a population of 10. This specimen comes from a very old collection and could possibly date back to those original prospecting days. The crystal is in great shape and has a few hair-like inclusions of rutile and a healed bottom!! Don't miss out on this rare piece of quartz!
