Hematite with Rutile (Ref: 20.1-164)
Cavradi gorge, Tujetsch, Surselva Region, Graubunden, Switzerland
30mm x 17mm x 14mm
minID: V81-6EG
Swiss Hematite with very well formed blades standing on minimal matrix. A close exam shows some tiny but brilliant red Rutile crystals on some faces. A nicely composed thumbnail (or toenail) that looks good from both sides. In excellent condition, a very lustrous and classic Alpine specimen. This specimen was originally labeled as from St Gotthard, but we are assured this habit with the epitaxial Rutile is unquestionably from Cavradi and is distinctive for the Cavradi Gorge.From: Well-Arranged Molecules
