Rutile (reticulated / twinned)

Item Description

A superb thumbnail specimen of the well-known, beautiful reticulated Rutiles from Cabassaco, Brazil. The piece features very sharp, lustrous, prismatic crystals in classic reticulated and twinned form. The wonderful reddish metallic appearance and striking form makes for a great overall piece. When the piece is backlit, a glowing red color can be seen around the periphery. 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.
