Item Description

A dramatic, colorful and aesthetic large two-sided combination plate from this small well-known hill worked by local farmers. A striking jackstraw cluster of translucent quartz points, to 5.5 cm, have a dramatic rich orange iron oxide coating. Classic hematite "iron roses" comprise the starkly contrasting matrix plate. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, with only one gently bruised quartz termination. The noted periphery wear is certainly only a modest detraction to this very fine and exotic, richly colored comnbination.
