	Been having fun trying to pics of this Wake County rutile. A different flavor. All pics are of the same crystal.

	Nice close up Joe. Very cool hexagonal shape with that crystal. Rutile is always so photogenic.

	Thanks, Scott. Yeah, I was thinking it was time to try and get some pics of the new rutile patches. Here's a few more I've been playing with. First 3 pics here are different views of the same patch, the rest are all different little patches.

	Here's some rutile and schorl having a meeting on this double terminated crystal from the cemetery.

	Reviving this old thread to bring you some hematite crystals found in some crystallized quartz Joe and I recently discovered in Raleigh. I'm going to assume hematite. Wake County seems to be abundant with ilmenite so it is something I've considered.
