Rist Mine, Hiddenite, Alexander Co., North Carolina, USA

This is an entire collection of Rutile crystals from the Rist Emerald mine in North Carolina. Included are single crystals and reticulated twins which range from dark brown color to a gemmy reddish color. Included is an early Dave Shannon label. Since some of these individual specimens would make $10 thumbnails, this is a great bargain for the lot.

From the Vivian Randall collection
