Description

Sharp iron rose (hematite) composed of thick jet black crystals, perched within a drusy of locally gemmy albite. Besides the excellent color contrast, the hematite has a great lustre and a part of the major crystal shows some iridescent tarnish. 
A very good specimen from this classic Italian locale. An oldtimer, dated back to the pre-80s.
