Item Description

The very finest US hematites came from sporadic fines from the 1940s to 1990s at this small Arizona claim in the Quartzsite area. A 3.7 cm cluster of splendent metallic-gray hematite plates, to 2.4 cm, is aesthetically set on the quartz matrix. The small spray of quartz points is a super accent. The piece has several fine display views. Excellent hematite valued by respected Arizona collector and dealer Les Presmyk at $750.
