8 cm Rutile Crystal in Matrix, Graves Mountain, Georgia, USA. There are other accessory rutile crystals embedded in the iron-rich matrix, and this specimen comes with a custom fitted 10 cm x 10 cm acrylic display base, as pictured. This is truly a collector's piece, first mined in the 1990's, and just recently trimmed, cleaned, and the base fitted by me. I have handled thousands of these, and this is in the top 10 percent of even the best of specimens from this locality. Weighs 776 grams without the base. Comes with original 1991 label from the guy who collected it in the mine.
