Item Description

Large cluster of attractive light-yellow frosted Sturmanites nestled on top of several sharp Hematite crystals. The large Sturmanites, which range up to 2.7 cm, have a very unusual, almost powdered appearance, which is out of the norm but nonetheless very appealing. The Hematites, up to .6 cm, are elongated and have superb luster. Both rest on a matrix that contains Quartz and micro Andradites. Nice aesthetics for a classic combo from the famous Wessels mine.
