Rutile (twinned) (ex Univ. of Bonn Collection)

Item Description

A fantastic large, stout, well-formed twinned Rutile crystal group of Rutile from a lesser known locality in Brazil. The piece is sharp with excellent overall crystallization. Yes, the exterior is not perfect, there are some nicks, but this is a knockout Rutile specimen and really eye-catching in my mind. You don't see crystallized Rutile like this from virtually any locality. It comes with an old label from the Museum at the University of Bonn, Germany. Valued at $2000 for size, quality and uniqueness. A smaller comparable specimen can be seen at the following link: http://www.mindat.org/photo-308654.html
