Item Description

Splendent, blocky, lightly etched, metallic-gray, intergrown, hematite crystals form an excellent and aesthetic specimen from the famous N'Chwaning II Mine. The striking stepped-growth crystals are up to 3.0 cm long. Classic and outstanding Kalahari material, which produces some of the finest crystallized hematite in the world. Nearly pristine, with just a trivial bit of periphery wear. Ex Charlie Key dealer stock and very choice.
