Description

Wonderful, intense red nd partly freestanding thin (diameter of a hair) rutile crystal set on light matrix, which is partly covered by dark green chlorite. A great combination of colors and really eye-candy. Also this material represents a great rarity, the whole area is part of the national park "Hohe Tauern" and field collecting is prohibited - so material is really hard to obtain. No significant damages to report.
