• Selected for colour, form and display appeal. Once sold, it will not be restocked.
• Photographed under neutral lighting to show accurate colour and clarity.

Collected from Novo Horizonte in Bahia, Brazil, this thumbnail specimen features a fan of bright golden rutile crystals growing naturally on metallic grey hematite. Despite its compact size, the spread of the rutile blades gives it excellent display presence, with strong contrast between the reflective hematite and warm golden rutile.

The rutile crystals show well-defined parallel striations and radiate naturally from the hematite matrix. There is minor wear to a few crystal tips, which is typical for delicate rutile specimens, but the overall aesthetic remains clean and well balanced. It is an attractive example for collectors of Brazilian minerals, rutile, hematite or thumbnail specimens.
