Description:A beautiful and striking specimen from a NEW find in an uncommon Chinese locale - Yuncheng Prefecture, Shanxi Province. Glassy, sharp, quartz crystals are included with vibrant, brick-red hematite. The hematite is color-zoned at the edges of the crystal faces, with dramatic effect. The tinted crystals reach 3.0 cm on this piece and rest on milky quartz matrix. Trivial edgewear to a few crystals is noted on this CABINET piece. These look very similar to the classic hematite-included amethyst crystals from Thunder Bay, Ontario. Impressive new material!
