Item Description
What a wonderful Hematite thumbnail for any locality. These twinned crystals have a fantastic luster, sharp faces, metallic silvery-grey color and a beautiful "heart"-shape form. This is a terrific thumb, and far better in person. A small separation mark on the lower front edge keeps it from being completely perfect, and it is does have a scar on the back, but it's really hard to get these specimens in such well-formed twins.
