avradi is a world famous locality for its epitaxial red rutile on hematite specimens. This one shows lustrous hematite blades carrying partially gemmy, deep red rutile crystals attached to a small rock crystal with rehealed bottom. As always, pictures don’t do justice to these metallic specimens.


Locality : Cavradi gorge, Curnera Valley, Tujetsch, Surselva Region, Grisons, Switzerland
