Item Description
A classic and pristine Cavradi hematite specimen of splendent, parallel-growth hematite blades on a tiny bit of starkly contrasting matrix. The hematite blades have nifty, stepped-growth faces and both sides of the piece have embedded, gemmy, wine-red, rutile crystals. There is even a tiny quartz crystal implanted along the crest. This fine piece looks great from both sides. The very high luster, excellent form and rutile association make for an excellent specimen. Ex Gene Meieran Collection. Valued at $500.
