Item Description
An aesthetic, colorful and striking large 360-degree combination plate from this small well-known hill worked by local farmers. A sculptural jackstraw cluster of translucent quartz points, to 7.0 cm, have a dramatic rich orange iron oxide coating. A few classic hematite "iron roses" embedded on the hematite matrix are a fine accent. Complete all-around. Two broken crystals and a few contacted crystals in the interior and the periphery wear are noted, but are minimal detractions. This remains an exotic, highly representative richly colored combination.
