Hematite with Rutile from Switzerland

Unknown Owner
This Hematite specimen is constructed from several stacked tiles that are sharply defined on all sides and beautifully jeweled with fire red Rutiles. There is some Feldspar at the base but apart from that it’s just solid Hematite. The condition is superb with just some insignificant abrasions but nothing that’s visible from the front. Absolutely gorgeous little specimen!
