Thin section in plane polarized light showing needles of rutile within crazy lace agate from the classic locality. Note that agate coats the rutile needles, forming projections much thicker than the needles themselves. Identification of rutile based upon habit and association. Collection, thin section, and photomicrograph by Norman King.
