Calcite (fluor), Hematite, and Andradite Garnet

Item Description

Quite remarkable combination piece from the famous Wessels mine. The gemmy 3.5 cm Calcite, which has excellent luster and deep orange-red fluorescence in the core, is seemingly impaled on a super-lustrous, complex 4 cm Hematite.Exceptional and unusual, and not at all affected by the tiny bit of edgewear in just a few small spots. For color and interest, there is a layer of brilliant micro Andradites that create a sparkly druse on the Hematite. The stark symmetry is dramatic, as well.
