Item Description
Mirror-like, classic example of Hematite from the Wessels Mine. Rather than the more dodecahedral-type habit, the crystals here are modified scalenohedrons up to 1.1 cm long, associated with minor, micro Andradite Garnets. Tantalizing aesthetics in this rare style of hematite make this a fine specimen. Valued $250
