Item Description
A very aesthetic specimen of moderately lustrous, intergrown, metallic Hematite blades forming a very attractive "rosette" strikingly studded with very gemmy, slightly smoky color Quartz crystals rom recent finds at the Lechang Mine. The "rosette" measures 3.8 cm across. The piece can be displayed from several angles, and the simple and elegant combination of the two species makes for a lovely display specimen. Fine combination material from this locale.
