Hematite with rutile, rock crystal – Cavradi Gorge, Sedrun, Tujetsch, Graubünden, Switzerland
Former collection of Dr. Walter Kühnel via Christian Weise 14.06.1977
High-luster hematite from Cavradi with the typical red rutile and rock crystal on matrix. A beautifully formed hematite specimen with good aesthetics.
Along with sites like Val Giuv or Göscheneralp, the Cavradi Gorge is certainly one of the most famous in all of Switzerland, if not the entire Alpine region. The rock in the gorge is painstakingly mined to access the coveted fissures. Primarily, rock crystal and hematite with rutile of the highest quality can be found here. Minerals from the Cavradi Gorge near Sedrun in Graubünden are rightly highly sought after by collectors and adorn collections worldwide.
