Recently a friend bought the above Graves Mountain Rutile specimen for
$250 . It had 2 rutile crystals showing and I told the buyer that cleaning
may expose more crystals . He brought the specimen to my house today (
06-05-04 ) and it was wrapped in a towel . He handed it to me carefully
and unfolded the towel to expose the crystals . I said they were pretty nice
, and then he told me to turn the specimen over . When I did I almost
dropped it ! There were many rutiles that ran all across the back side ,
perfect and shiney ! Wow ! Talk about getting a bargain ! And several
people passed this by for $250 ! Pictured below is the specimen after
cleaning revealed the once hidden crystals. The same day I sold this a
fellow paid $450 for a bigger and better one . I wonder what that cleaning
will reveal ?
