Item Description

This small well-known hill worked by local farmers has produced colorful and dramatic quartz and hematite combination specimens. About 20 striking jackstraw translucent quartz points, to 5.0 cm, have a dramatic rich orange iron oxide coating and are aesthetically set on classic hematite "iron roses" embedded on the large prepared hematite matrix. Complete all-around. A few broken quartz points, a bruised hematite and the periphery wear are noted. This remains an exotic, unusually-colored richly colored large 360-degree combination.
