Description

This specimen, an English classic, combines both specular (glittery, platy crystals) and "kindey ore" hematite (forming the matrix) with quartz crystals on a single specimen. You can see the kindey ore at the backside of the specimen; it is shaped as concave "negative bubbles" here. But the most important side, the display side is featuring numerous of mirror bright, well defined and sharp blades of Hematite accompanied by lustrous and sharp Quartz. Very aesthetics.
