Item Description
A KILLER large thumbnail (2.6 cm), composed of a crystal of Hematite that has excellent form and superb luster. This central crystal is accented by numerous smaller Hematites and many sparkly micro Andradites. It is complete all around. It is not representative at all - but transcends way beyond the normal level of already high quality for these things. Its luster, sharpness of form, and overall display as a thumbnail with some pizzazz and accents, makes it a killer competitive-level piece AS WELL AS a Classic for the locality. Valued $1000-1200. One of the best in class I have seen.
