An extremely lustrous and full miniature-sized (5.5 cm) old rutile crystal with superb metallic luster and excellent form. Partially doubly-terminated on the bottom. The sides and top are so sharp they look carved. The luster on this is superb. It is an old classic locale, and from it this is an amazing single crystal. Ex. Charlie Key.
