Description

A partly cyclic twin of dark brown submetallic rutile from an obscure locality. The label of former owner Jiri Spalek fom Kladno, Czech Republic only gives "Maitas, Kazachstan" as locale. All searches on the Internet and the swarm intelligence of the collectors community cannot find a decisive match except - a link to Jiri Spaleks website, where he obviously listed that specimen a long time ago. I leave it up to you to judge ;-)
