Rutile Crystals

Rutile Crystals - A spectucular small cabinet specimen of the acicular needle crystals called rutile, mined in Brazil at the Novo Horizante mine at Bahia. Hematite is the black matrix. Photographed through glass, seen in the Crystal Springs Mining Company gallery, Hotel Convention Center, Tucson, Arizona. Tucson Rock and Gem Show 2013. I got to meet the owner Thomas Nagin and he was a delight to speak with, as are all his show staff. For a link to their website, check here: crystalspringsmining.com/
