Description

Black, metallic, very lustrous hematite crystal. Main hematite shows growth patterns with resemble a 'faden-like' individual and it is in excellent display conditions. A further peculiarity of this specimen is given by some of the crystals showing the renowned - although pretty rare - iridescence Elba specimens are known for. As the iridescence comes on the most lustrous crystals, it enhances the esthetic of the specimen even further. A few milky quartz crystals add some nice color contrast.

From an Italian collection that I have acquired last year. It comes from a larger specimen which has been carefully trimmed.
