Item Description
A striking, sharp and splendent, hematite crystal is coated on two sides with oyelite crystals, a very rare hydrated, boron silicate. The luster on the hematite is absolutely mirror-bright. Nearly pristine, with no damage contacting. Trivial brusing is noted, but is certainly not a detraction. Very fine combination material from a recent find at the N'Chwaning III Mine. Ex Charlie Key dealer stock.
