Item Description
Hematite specimens are RARE from famed Mt Vesuvius. Splendent jet-black densely intergrown plates form a striking, sculptural, 360-degree arborescent specimen. Respected rarities dealer, Josef Vajdak (Pequa Minerals) aptly names this impressive rarity Specularite - "a variety of hematite characterized by aggregates of silvery, metallic, specular ("mirror-like") hematite flakes or tabular, anhedral crystals." (MINDAT). A classic rarity. MUCH, MUCH better in person. The brilliant lustre is subdued in the photos.
