Description

Florence Mine in Cumbria is one of the most famous localities in the world for quality hematite. Over the past few years I have sold many specimens from the locality however this is by far the most attractive. The smokey quartz crystal excellent for the locality and sits in a bed of highly reflective hematite (var. specularite). This is a superb little specimen that sits perfectly for display.
