Detailed Description

A narrow section of a quartz vein hosts a group of brilliant highly-lustrous hematite crystals. The crystals are in the style of hematite roses, viewed edge-on. Excellent condition – some incomplete crystals around the periphery where it was removed from the surrounding rock. Minor reddish quartz microcrystals in association, adding colour. Attractive piece.

About these Hematites
