Description

Very are hematite from Hormuz island! The political situation is very difficult so we cannot expect any new material from the locality. The particular specimen shows a very uncommon habit, which reminds more to a iron-rose! Well shaped all around and highly lustrous with lot of amazing details. Hard to photograph, better in person!
