Item Description
Select miniature composed of brilliant to satin Hematites, accented with a nice cluster of small calcite crystals. The largest of the Hematites is an amazing 2.5 cm, has an attractive satin luster, and is very sharp. On the opposite side are several sharp, mirror-luster Hematites with excellent form, the largest of which is 1.3 cm in length. from either side, this is an aesthetic, very fine miniature. YOU CANNOT BELIEVE the high luster on this piece until seen in person. I do not say this lightly!
