Item Description
These dramatic rutile twins occured in Magnet Cove in the early to mid 1900s, and today are extremely scarce collector classics. This one has 3 razor sharp twins arranged around a common center. It seems to have grown in contact and so the bottom side (as I would display it) is not complete - but they are so rare, it is worth offering and having anyways for the cyclic twinning you do see, and makes for a dramatic thumbnail specimen. From the display competition collection of Bill and Sharon Panczner collected from the 1960s.
