Description:A very fine example for the species from this uncommon Arizona locality. A two-sided, metallic-bright, sharp hematite crystal is nicely accented with a quartz crystal. Older material from the 1960s or 1970s from the Dick Jones Collection, and probably self-collected by him. You almost never see these for sale, and this is a VERY GOOD ONE! Valued $300-400. The quality is comparable to south african material!
