Item Description

RARE, fantastically iridescent, sharp, striated hematite crystals are aesthetically clustered atop the massive ore matrix wedge on this surreal small cabinet from the famous Wessels Mine. The impressive 2.0 cm crystal in the interior is pristine. The noted periphery wear is certainly only a modest detraction to this striking rarity and the patches of tiny orange andradite garnet crystals and crystal sections are a fine contrasting accessory.
