Description from the seller

Rare Crystal of Golden Rutile with Specular Hematite - 43g Raw Masterpiece

✦ A True Sculpture of Nature
Bring home a stunning piece full of history for your house or your elite mineral collection. This magnificent specimen, 100% natural and rough, comes directly from the famous Bahia deposits in Brazil, and weighs exactly 43.72 grams. It is a fascinating piece with an elegant elongated shape that looks like an authentic luxury organic sculpture created by the Earth over millions of years.

✦ Why This Piece Is Unique and Special
• Exclusive Layout in “Gondola” Style: The standout feature of this specimen is its horizontal, architectural structure. It forms a natural cluster that rests beautifully, creating a dynamic and harmonious visual flow from one end to the other.
• High Metallic Contrast: Dense fields of thick golden rutile needles grow intertwined with sharp blades of gray-dark Specular Hematite. The metallic surfaces reflect natural light with fantastic intensity from any angle.
• 100% Raw and Untouched: This piece has not been polished, cut, or altered by human tools. Every edge, metallic blade, and fan of needles is exactly as it came from nature.

✦ Quick Specifications
• Type: Raw Golden Rutile in Specular Hematite Matrix
• Origin: Bahia, Brazil (Shipped from Lisbon, Portugal)
• Weight: 43.72 grams
• Size: Excellent hand-size, ideal for prominent display on a shelf, executive office desk, or an illuminated display case.

✦ Premium International Shipping (Safe and Protected)
We know that raw minerals with delicate structures require specialized protection. Your piece will be packed to the highest safety standards and shipped directly from Lisbon, Portugal:
• Maximum Protection with Double Box: The crystal is wrapped in multiple layers of shock-absorbing material and placed in a rigid container to ensure it arrives flawless, eliminating any micro-vibrations during transport.
• Tracking Code and Full Insurance: Shipped via registered international mail. You will receive the tracking code immediately after dispatch.
• Signature Upon Delivery: For your total peace of mind and absolute security of your investment.

Important Note: This crystal reacts incredibly to lighting. When placed under direct sunlight or a table lamp, the golden field comes to life and shines brilliantly. You will receive exactly the unique specimen you see in the photographs.
