Item Description

Attractive and super-lustous single crystal of Rutile, with lovely deep red-brown color and a great metallic sheen. The crystal is also nicely terminated, with the base expressing just a hint of a (double)termination. It is nearlypristine, with just a few minor dings, common for such a soft species. This extended crystal habit is uncommon and just a little light brings out that trace of color from the gemmy flashes. The striations and overall brightness of the luster make this very aesthetic. Valued $400
