Item Description

Brilliant metallic, sharp hematite crystals form a showy and excellent specimen from recent finds at this well-known mine. The striking, stacked crystals are 2.8 cm tall. These crystals have only very trivial edge wear. The contact is undamaged. The pink crusts are possibly kutnohorite. Periphery wear is noted, but this remains an excellent and highly representative example of the species. Ex Charlie Key dealer stock.
