Item Description
Complexly terminated crystals of hematite to 2.1 cm on a massive hematite matrix. The crystals have incredible mirror luster and are sharply formed, looking to be pseudocubic in fact. Some twinning appears to have occurred to some of the crystals. Nice display angles for the piece adds to the pizzazz. Minor edge wear is present on a few crystals but for the most part the crystals are in very good condition. Classic and excellent older material from this locale.
