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. It is nearly pristine, with just one minor ding near one upper corner, 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 wine-red flashes. The striations and overall brightness of the luster make this very aesthetic. Valued $300
