Item Description

A very aesthetic specimen of battleship-grey, intergrown Hematite "iron roses" strikingly studded with Quartz crystals to 3 cm, from the Lechang Mine of China. The Hematites are remarkably aesthetic, being sharp, smooth, and in beautiful clusters. Adding to the beauty are microcrystals of tiny Quartz that rim each and every Hematite blade, make them scintillate like they are dusted with newly-fallen snow - apparent in the video, I would think. This is very fine combination material from this locale, and much better in person. It is a special piece from a special pocket - NOT of common quality, and should be valued highly for this difference. It simply sparkles, no other way to say it, in a way others do not...Old material from the early 2000s
