Idar-Oberstein, Germany Although quartz is one of the more abundant minerals in the Earth's crust, it is far more rare when found with these included needle-like rutiles, a mineral composed mainly of titanium dioxide that is sometimes found as an accessory mineral in metamorphic and igneous rocks. Carved from a single specimen, this figure of a cat, sitting upright on its haunches, the scores of rutiles, from a distance give the impression of the creature's fur. Inscribed with GD mongram signature for Gerd Dreher. Height 6 1/4in (15.9cm)
