Item Description
Some of the most iconic Rutile / Hematite specimens in the world are those from Novo Horizonte. This piece is a cool example of the 2008 find featuring golden Rutile crystals sprouting out of natural silvery Hematite center which are included inside a gemmy prismatic Quartz crystal. The Quartz is contacted on the back / side where it was removed from the pocket, but the termination is complete, and it is absolutely transparent in the center, creating a perfect window to view the lovely iron and titanium oxides respectively.
