Hematite

Item Description

Elba is one of the great classic European localities, and dates back to the times of the Etruscans. This specimen is comprised of sharp, lustrous, iridescent hexagonal blades of Hematite in pockets within the matrix. The largest of the bladed crystals is 1.7 cm, and the coppery iridescence on all the Hematites is fabulous. A great representation of the species from this locality. It is clear why the Hematites from Elba are considered some of the most unique and distinctive in the world. Originally priced at $300.
