Reticulated Red Rutile
Collection
Robert Lavinsky
Description
An absolutely stunning specimen of red Rutile. The intergrown, mostly-terminated crystals have a superb striated luster and deep red color that takes very little coaxing to glow. The geometry of the bladed crystals creates an architecture that has superb aesthetics. It flashes electric red from so many angles. This is unusually robust for such a reticulated cluster, not just skinny needles strung together but real 3-D crystals. Ex. Wendell E. Wilson Collection.
