Item Description
Beautiful pair of equant Hematite crystals, with Calcites, from the Wessels mine. The modified Hematite crystals have superb luster with ultra-fine, delicate striations on the faces. Each is about 1.3 cm across, and both are contacted on the base and along the back. However, this allows the presentation side to be displayed quite naturally. The Calcites on top are gemmy and lustrous, and up to .6 cm on edge. This is a very aesthetic Wessels thumbnail.
