Item Description
Brilliant metallic, golden-brown, rutile needles have pseudomorphed a sharp, doubly terminated, floater anatase crystal on this very fine thumbnail from Brazil. The rutile has completely replaced the anatase on this cutie. These have become classic specimens and this is one of the sharper specimens we have seen. Valued at $200 for rarity and quality.
