Item Description
Splendent, metallic-gray, intergrown, hematite crystals form an excellent and aesthetic thumbnail from the famous Nchwaning II Mine. The striking crystals are pseudo-scalenohedral and look like bullets! Classic Kalahari material, which produces some of the finest crystallized hematite in the world. Just a bit of edge wear is noted. This is a fine two-sided example.
