Item Description

A killer hematite thumbnail, with the unusual crystal habit you sometimes, rarely, see here of pseudo-scalenohedral form or bullet-shaped style of crystallization with a lustrous, broad, pincoid face on top. These mirror-lustrous hematites, for their habit, are to me among the more impressive examples of the species. Sharp and complete! The label says N'Chwaning, but these came from the Wessels Mine. Ex Gene Wright Collection.
