Superb form and luster highlight these twinned crystals from one of the premier localities for Rutile. Killer display face showcasing the dramatic splitz of the twin! The minor contacting and bruising do not at all detract from the mirror-like luster and the attractive crystal habit on that face, though the back is more contacted (hence the low price...otherwise around $500!).
