Item Description

A classic example of the famed Magnet Cove Rutiles, beloved by collectors for their quality and distinctive appearance. This small cabinet specimen is filled with dozens of highly lustrous, razor-sharp, notably striated crystals of a nearly black metallic quality, associated with buff colored Albite in areas. Some of the crystals show the iconic twinning for which the locality is known. There are contacted areas on the piece, it's not undamaged, but many of the crystals are in excellent condition and look great up close.
