Item Description

Small, brilliant-metallic, hematite "iron roses" really liven up this dramatic and aesthetic diverging cluster of intergrown, lustrous, tapered quartz crystals richly included with olive-green hedenbergite from a very small new find in Inner Mongolia. The crystals have nifty bipyramidal terminations. These crystals are called quartz "prases". The faces of the crystals shimmer, due to the intense stepped-growth. This is an exceptionally fine and pristine, 360-degree combination rarity from the find. Valued at $800-900.
