Item Description

Remarkable, rich and RARE LARGE 3-dimensional specimen densely covered with striking jackstraw starbursts of golden metallic rutile needles epitaxially set on splendent hematite from recent finds at this famous locale. This is a rare one, as the starbursts are attached to matrix and the piece has 3-dimensionality. They are nearly always popped off of the matrix or are near floaters. 2332 grams or 5.1 pounds mass. The piece displays well without aid. Ex Dr. Vasco Trancoso Collection. These are certainly one of the more eye-catching combination specimens in the Mineral Kingdom.
