Item Description

An interesting and different looking Hematite specimen labeled as coming from Schneeberg, Germany featuring small, sparkling / drusy "Specularite" Hematite crystals of a dark reddish-black hue filling open vugs upon creamy white Dolomite matrix. An odd piece to be sure, I can't recall seeing another like it. From the worldwide mineral collection of Albert Lewis Kidwell (January 1, 1919 - August 16, 2008). Al was a well-known mineral collector and research geologist with Carter Oil Company and later Exxon Oil Company in Houston, Texas. The phosphate species Kidwellite was named in his honor in 1974.
