Item Description
Hematite "iron roses" of this combination quality are uncommon from the Alpine-type deposits at Tormiq. A 3.4 cm cluster of lustrous "roses" is adorably perched atop the sculptural matrix of intergrown, glassy, etched, quartz crystals. The cluster is in great shape, with just a bit of periphery wear on the left side and at the top. It certainly looks like a fine Swiss or Italian hematite. Choice and rare combination material from the Herb Obodda dealer stock.
