Item Description
An adorable 1.7 cm hematite "iron rose" is jauntily set on the very unusual matrix of glassy, translucent, tabular, color-zoned, K-feldspar variety adularia crystals and intergrown, "melted-look", golden muscovite. The adularia plate on the "rose" is a super accent! Hematite of this quality is uncommon from the Alpine-type deposits at Tormiq. It certainly looks like a fine Swiss or Italian hematite. Choice and rare combination material from the Herb Obodda dealer stock.
