Rutile twin (superb lustrous xl from 1970s) ex Hansen Coll.

Item Description

Rutiles from this classic locale are among the best in the world, by any standard. Their sharp form and intense metallic luster sets them apart for rutiles in this size range from those of other locales. This fairly large, very complexly twinned crystal has beautiful deep wine-red color and is partialy doubly terminated. This outstanding example has multiple fine displays views, which can strongly minimize the contacted and bruised sides. Valued at $2000 for size and quality. From the personal collection of Gary Hansen, former mineral dealer in St. Louis. This is a superb, beautiful example of a very fine robust style.
