Description from the seller

Watch a video of this specimen by following the Vimeo link below: https://vimeo.com/1118861369/744f45b77c

Here is a remarkable, very lustrous, multifaceted and perfectly terminated rutile twin from old discoveries in Diamantina!

Note the deep red glints that attract the eye as light plays on the crystal.

Excellent for the species, even by international standards!

Ex coll. Jean-Louis Gérard. J-L. Gérard was a collector with many interests, ranging from maritime objects to paintings, and from antique scientific instruments to minerals! Over several decades of collecting, he gathered tens of thousands of items in his family estate located in the Loir Valley. The recent sale of the estate and the collections was a major event.
