High luster Hematite with large red Rutile from Cavradi Gorge, Sedrun, Switzerland

The ultimate expression of classic Alpine elegance. This exceptional, undamaged floater hematite showcases pristine, razor-sharp geometric growth and a blinding, silver-black mirror luster. It features a spectacular mineralogical association: a remarkably large and robust wine-red rutile crystal perched prominently on the face, while the rest of the piece is richly detailed with lustrous red rutiles of various sizes. Pure sculptural perfection with world-class pedigree. A highly coveted piece for any fine mineral collection.
