Rutile and hematite are both minerals that can form beautiful crystals, and when they are together, it can be quite striking. Rutile is known for its needle-like crystals, often golden or reddish-brown in color, while hematite typically has a metallic luster and ranges from silver to black.  Rutile and hematite are often found in association with each other in various geological settings, including hydrothermal veins and metamorphic rocks.

This beautiful crystal would be a great addition to any new or existing collection.
