Item Description

One cannot help admiring the beauty and complexity of these excellent and famous combination pieces. The way the delicate, golden needles of Rutile extend out radially from the lustrous, metallic Hematite is just amazing. Add the a cap of gemmy Quartz crystals on one end, you have a dramatic piece. The Rutiles average about 3 cm in length, and the Quartz reaches that size, as well. Delicate to be sure, the great aesthetics are undeniable. Valued at $1,000.
