Item Description

Three, sculptural, intergrown, splendent, metallic-gray, hematite crystals are aesthetically set in a manganite crystal-lined vug on this excellent and aesthetic miniature from the famous N'Chwaning II Mine. 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 highly representative example.
