The contrast between those golden needles and the dark hematite base is even more striking in person, and the piece has a nice weight to it that feels substantial. It arrived well-protected and sits beautifully on my shelf next to my other specimens.

The rutile needles catch the light in a way photos just can't capture, and the contrast against the dark hematite base is even more striking in person. It's a solid, well-balanced piece that's quickly become the centerpiece of my mineral shelf.
