Description

Impressively sizeable iron rose from this classic Brazilian locality.

A fan of at least a dozen platy hematite crystals, very lustrous, aggregated in a very elegant, subparallel fashion, with excellent metallic lustre. This large rose shows a slightly offset package of minor blades at its core, displaying the classic flower habitus. Upon close observation, triangular growth patterns can be observed

Classic material, quite scarce and sought-after nowadays, especially in this size and quality. An excellent display specimen, with just a couple of minor peripheral contacts and peripheral bruises.

From the classic find dated a few yars ago, it comes with a former Bonisoli label (I).
