AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Excellent example of bright and reddish rutile, completely natural, of excellent mineralogical value.
This specimen is characterized by good crystal formation, allowing the shapes of the crystal faces to be appreciated. The naturally grown crystals, in an excellent way, have intense colors.
Furthermore, this specimen is characterized by a rare Swiss alpine origin.

A unique piece of nature, ideal for enriching high-level mineral collections and perfect for decorating exclusive environments thanks to its high aesthetic value. Many people find healing properties in minerals; the uses for crystallotherapy and lithotherapy should not be underestimated.

Photos are taken in a dedicated set with intense lights to avoid altering the colors, but it is recommended to display the minerals in well-lit environments to fully appreciate their tones.

The shipment usually occurs the next day, with tracking and careful packaging. Multiple orders from the same customer will be grouped, and any excess shipping costs will be refunded.
