While Toenail is not an official "competition" size classification, sometimes thumbnail specimens are just a bit too big for competition rules, often referred to as "boxbusters." There is no standard size for toenails, but they overlap a thumbnail and a miniature.

Item Description

An aesthetic and substantial cluster of intergrown hematite iron roses from Ouro Preto. The sharp, hexagonal, splendent dark metallic-gray parallel-growthg plates are enhanced by the contrasting rust-brown iron oxide coatings. The front is pristine and the out-of-sight back is lightly bruised. It displays well without aid. Classic and excellent two-sided hematite from the Dr. Barratt Phillips Collection.
