Item Description

A very aesthetic specimen of intergrown, metallic Hematite blades forming very attractive "rosettes" strikingly associated with very gemmy, Quartz crystals from a recent find at the Lechang Mine. The largest "rosette" measures 1.5 cm across. The piece can be displayed from several angles, and the simple and elegant combination of the two species makes for a lovely display specimen. Minimal damage and a fine combination specimen from this locale.
