Item Description

Attractive, very well-defined Hematite rose from the Tormiq Valley in Pakistan. The specular nature of the Hematite creates a sparkle and rich texture that you don't often see associated with this habit. Simple, yet complex in its own way, this thumbnail is both unusual and aesthetic. Previous dealer label was $225. If it was from Switzerland, it would be valued much higher! But, the Pakistani specimens, good as they are (and fo the size, this is great) , do not fetch the same premium.
