Item Description
Ilmenite from Pakistan is probably among best of species because of the sharp metallic luster and this amazing rose-like crystal habit, at their best, which looks so much like hematite roses from Switzerland! This is a particularly fine, sharp, balanced specimen featuring a perfect 3.5-cm-across rose of crystals smack in the middle of a nicely sized matrix for contrast. It is from the important and broad Pakistani suite in the Gene Meieran minerals collection. We have seen pieces like this going for anywhere from $1500-5000 depending on which dealer had them for sale over the years, and many also mislabelled as Hematite, as well. It seems like this is older material (much came out in the early 2000s).
