	I don't usually collect Brazilian material because there's just so dang much of it, but when I saw this little cluster, the golden rutilated star against the heavily chlorite included background, it caught my eye. I just liked the formation of the Starburst of Rutile. So I hope you don't mind if I share too many pics of me playing around with this piece. First pic is the whole cluster and then some close-ups.

	And I tried to get some shots of the chlorite, without much success I'm afraid. The red and white in with the green of the chlorite is very pretty, but hard to get a good shot of.

	I finally had some time to clean up some rocks and was in my box from reel mine and found a piece of clear quartz that is fairly heavily included with "golden" rutile. I will post some pictures of it once the Iron Out has worked it's magic.

	That piece has got to have soaked long enough by now,RR. If you can take some pics of it I would love to see it. Rutile is not reel common from the Reel.

	Thanks for the pic, RR. That's a hard piece to get a good picture of. I'd still like to take a closer look at it. Bring it with you Saturday if you can. Thanks, Joe
