Description

Textbook metallic rutile crystal from Brazil. From the former Swiss collection Kasper, it dates back to the 1970s, this is classic oldtimer material.

The label states quartz as well, however the crystal had been glued back on quartzite matrix. I took it off there and prepped it as you see.
