Oh dear, this is not a rutile... but I feel that an ongoing Tungsten project at work is a good enough excuse to stock up on ferberite! It's still black, but definitely not ugly. And to balance it out, a large and multiply-twinned rutile from Graves Mountain. Looking at the complex form, my wife commented that it looks like a fight between a triangle and a square. The winner, in this case, is the collector.

Thank you. I will certainly continue, although the limiting factor here is actually acquiring new minerals. So, stick around for a few decades and watch the collection grow.
