Hematite

Item Description

An impressive, splendent, grayish-brown botryoidal hematite specimen of classic style for the old English locales from the 1800s. But it is from Morocco. It is more lustrous than most of the English hematites (even accounting for the fact that, as with all of these, one must assume they are lightly buffed in any case). The sculptural piece has incredible dazzlingly bright "eyes" on the botryoids, that look like the multiple lenses of insect eyes! Wonderful recent material to the market. If this WERE English, and it would be easy to simply "say it was so," and the price would be much higher.
