A striking specimen of this now well-known combo from Brazil, combining shimmering, bright golden acicular rutile crystals with shiny-metallic, platy crystals of hematite. This specimen has two stacked crystals side by side, and is beautiful on both sides - complete all around, with the contact on the bottom. The hematite really gleams, like a polished metal machine part!
