Rutile on Hematite, Novo Horizonte, Bahia, Brazil

A Brazilian classic! Everyone loves these terrific combinations of form and colour. Straw-like needles radiate outwards, nucleated on metallic hematite centres. We have several examples showing a single radial spray but this is a very nice cluster, which are harder to find. From Novo Horizonte, Bahia, Brazil. Dimensions: 4.5 x 6 cm
