Item Description
A super small miniature specimen of the well-known, beautiful reticulated Rutiles from Brazil. The piece features very sharp, lustrous, prismatic crystals in classic reticulated form. The wonderful reddish metallic appearance and striking form makes for a great overall piece. It's hard to find good crystallized reticulated Rutile from any locality, and pieces like this are certainly among the better examples of the material in the world. When strongly backlit, the crystals shows a deep gemmy red interior.
