Remarkably large rutile crystal in the classic pale metamorphic matrix. The crystal is an over 6 cm (!!!) individual, impressively large for Alpine standards, and it comes with a moderate crute texture and good surface lustre. The color contrast is very good.

Unusual to see on the market in size and quality, it comes from the legendary Bonisoli collection (I).
