Hematite-tinted Quartz (NEW Find)

Item Description

A beautiful and striking 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. The tinted crystals reach 3.5 cm on this piece and rest on milky quartz matrix. Two crystal faces are preferentially included with contrasting, pastel-green chlorite, for a nifty accent. Trivial edgewear to a few crystals is noted on this dramatic piece. These look very similar to the classic hematite-included amethyst crystals from Thunder Bay, Ontario. Impressive new material!
