Item Description

An impressive, sculptural, large hematite crystal with splendent luster is dramatically enhanced by numerous smaller hematites and scattered clusters of orangy-red andradite. A very fine 360-degree specimen with every rotation offering a different perspective. The minor contacting at either end is barely noticeable. It resembles a striking monolith or a 1950s-era robot. Classic and excellent Kalahari hematite.
