Item Description

A most interesting, unusual and hard to find pseudomorph of reddish-brown Hematite replacing Kaolinite from the town of Mitzpe Ramon which was a camp for workers who were building the road to Eilat, which is the home of the famous copper-bearing Eilat stones. This material is almost never seen on the market, and it came to us from a trusted source directly from Israel so we know it's genuine. If you collect oddities, pseudomorphs or just unique / interesting mineral specimens, be sure not to miss out on this one, as it's the only one we have to offer.
