Mineral Specimen #39: Rutile, Hematite, Quartz

Novo Horizonte, Bahia, Brazil

This is a very attractive specimen. The Rutile exhibits epitaxial growth radiating in parallel alignment from the Hematite. Much of the Quartz is Rutilated (having inclusions of Rutile). There are some broken Quartz crystals, but this detracts little from the attractiveness of the specimen.
