Rarely seen, twinned Rutile from Zambia on colorful Limonite base. The Rutile crystals show some cyclic 60 degree twinning. They have dark reddish-black color, strong luster and striations on the faces. The intense orange-red Limonite base underlines nicely the Rutiles. In good condition – some small nicks and contacts. On acrylic base.

Cute!
