Rutile on Hematite (Will Henderson Coll.)

Item Description

Well-defined and extremely lustrous on both sides, this is a lovely blade of hematite with classic form for the locality. luster is super! The patterns really accent the piece and the lustrous wine-red rutiles add to the overall aesthetics. The blade is 3 mm thick and you can hardly tell the the upper left edge is very lightly bruised. A very fine and aesthetic thumbnail! Ex Will Henderson Collection, a well-known, longtime mineral author and collector. He was formerly a columnist for the Mineralogical Record.
