Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic, old time example of rutile from Austria!!! This specimen hosts a lustrous rutile crystal prominently
perched on contrasting matrix!!! The crystal has lustrous striated faces and measures 1.6cm!!! The crystal exhibits a highly complex
termination comprised of numerous sharp, brilliant faces!!! In person, one can see some reddish highlights within as well!!! Specimens from this locality are scarcely seen today!!! This specimen
retains an old label from the A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum with L.L. Hubbard (1849-1933) Collection notation!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY MARCH 10th!!!
