$29.00 CAD
1 Only
Rutile from Diamantina, Minas Gerais, Brazil is a particularly good locality for collector-quality rutile. It is quite different in appearance from the familiar golden rutile needles included in quartz.
Diamantina rutile is commonly found as well-developed, elongated tetragonal crystals with very strong luster. The colour can range from reddish-brown to a very dark wine-red or blood-red, sometimes appearing almost black until the crystal is placed in strong transmitted light. This deep red colour is a characteristic noted specifically for rutile from the Diamantina area and has been associated with relatively higher iron content
