Description

This interesting specimen features hematite hosting a dense cluster of fine rutile crystals, creating a striking contrast of metallic luster and needle-like growth.

Small accents of albite add a light contrast to the composition, enhancing the overall visual balance. The combination of textures and crystal habits gives this piece a unique and appealing character for collectors.
