Item Description

An aesthetic, striking and colorful large 360-degree combination plate from this small well-known hill worked by local farmers. A striking jackstraw cluster of translucent quartz points, to 6.3 cm, have a dramatic rich orange iron oxide coating. A classic, 2.7 cm, hematite "iron rose" is artistically set at the end of the quartz crystals with smaller roses. Complete all-around with only one gently bruised tip noted in interior. The noted periphery wear is certainly only a modest detraction to this very fine and exotic, richly colored combination.
