Description:Collector Harold Urish bought this in a rock shop while travelling, in 1975, for a princely sum at the time. It is a VERY attractive, large, rolling matrix of rock coated with botryoidal hematite. Oxidation has given the hematite a varied surface color composition, and it is bright and metallic looking, making for a very dramatic display specimen. From the well known Tucson collection of 40-year collector, Harold Urish.
