Description

Very are hematite from Hormuz island! The political situation is very difficult so we cannot expect any new material from the locality. This piece shows a very uncommon habit - a sharp terminated iron rose, very geometric and complete all around - developed as floater! The faces show mcro steps, all on highest luster. Haard to photograph and even better in person.
