Item Description
A sharp, super lustrous hematite crystal with the classic and VERY UNUSUAL crystal habit you rarely see from here of a TABULAR, pseudo-scalenohedral or bullet-shaped style of crystallization with a lustrous, pincoid face on top. These mirror-lustrous hematites, for their habit, are to me among the more impressive examples of the species. Scattered crusts of orange-red, andradite microcrystals, including on the termination, are a nice accent. Ex. Charlie Key. Valued $750
