Rutile and Hematite - Novo Horizonte, Bahia, Brazil
A floating specimen combining lamellar hematite crystals with acicular rutile crystals. The hematite, which ranges from black to metallic gray, has a vivid luster and well-defined crystals.
Numerous golden rutile crystals have grown epitaxially around the hematite crystals, giving the specimen a star-like structure. The rutile needles are fine, tightly clustered, and exhibit a strong luster, with a golden hue that contrasts with the metallic sheen of the hematite.
