Item Description

An old-time, very fine pair of sharp, intergrown, geniculate V-twin rutile crystals from this historic locale. The stout laminated crystals are lustrous, slightly translucent, mottled brown. That's an impression of another rutile crystal, that once lay on the front of the piece. Crystals of this quality were collected in the early to mid 19th century (MINDAT). Classic old-time material from an East Coast collection.
