A superb iridescent hematite crystals from Elba Island, Italy. The specimen was found in 2014 in Bacino stope.

The hematite is strongly iridescent, when properly lighted in rich electric blue, green, purple and yellow. Some small quartz crystals are seen too. Some contacts. The back is sawed. On acrylic base.

Fascinating!
