A classic Brazilian Rutile, with high luster, deep saturated wine-red color, and striated sides. The terminations are good, but what really makes this exceptional are the twins that radiate from the main crystal. These add significantly to the quality and aesthetics of this thumbnail. Brazilian Rutiles of size and quality are simply not that common.
