Rutile on Hematite Pair – Golden Rutile Needles on Silver Hematite (Collector Seconds)

A bargain pair for mineral lovers! ✨ These two rutile on hematite specimens feature bright golden rutile needles growing in neat, parallel sprays across plates of mirror-shiny silver hematite. Turn them in the light and the hematite flashes like polished metal while the gold needles glitter across the surface.

You will receive both pieces shown in the photos.

⚠️ Priced as collector seconds: some of the delicate rutile needles are broken or worn, as shown in the photos. They're still beautiful little specimens, just not display-grade, which is why the pair is priced so low. Perfect for a beginner collection, a grid, a terrarium, or anyone who loves sparkle on a budget.
