Hematite-tinted Quartz (NEW Find)

Item Description

An excellent and striking CABINET specimen from a NEW find in an uncommon Chinese locale - Yuncheng Prefecture, Shanxi Province. Glassy, sharp, quartz crystals are included with vibrant, brick-red hematite, with the outer layer being water-clear. The tinted crystals reach a large 4.5 cm on this piece and rest on milky quartz matrix. Two of the three large crystals are pristine, with the third having one bruised side, which is a minimal detraction. These look very similar to the classic hematite-included amethyst crystals from Thunder Bay, Ontario. Impressive new material!
