This is a good example of a beautiful Brazilian classic. I have provided several rather different looking photos of the specimen, because the appearance can change markedly depending on the lighting. In particular, the hematite can look jet black or silvery, and the rutile can look almost straw yellow or deep orange. This can even be seen in the close-up photos (FOV 4.6 x 6.9 mm) where the lighting changed only slightly between the two photos. The first three photos show the "typical" hand-held appearance. 

Note: As can be seen in the second and third photos, one tip of the specimen was glued into a Styrofoam base. I have now removed most of the adhering Styrofoam, but there is still a bit left. Probably this can be removed with some warm water – or the point can just be stuck back into the Styrofoam.

Single item shipping weight is 3.1 oz (91 g). For shipments outside the USA, up to a total weight < 8 oz (225g), this can be combined with items from this or other auctions for the same postage.

Within the USA, postage increases by about $0.20 per ounce. Above 13 oz, I will use Priority Mail ($9.25 including packing).
