Item Description
Hematite specimens are exceedingly rare from the mines and quarries of Tooele County, Utah. This sculptural, CABINET specimen is capped by a striking cluster of sharp, unusually formed, platy hematite crystals. Interestingly, some crystal faces are lustrous, while others have a matte finish. The tiered matrix of banded, massive hematite is covered with splendent hematite botryoids giving the piece a surreal look under bright light. Old-time, exotic looking material (especially for hematite!) from the Dennis Mullane Collection. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
