Detailed Description
An excellent plate of hematite-rose style crystals, all clustered together edge-on. A dusting of reddish quartz microcrystals adds some nice contrast and colour. Good lustre and very sharp crystal forms. In excellent condition - a couple of tiny inconsequential rubs and otherwise just the incomplete crystals around the periphery where the specimen was removed from the surrounding rock. Bright, high-quality hematite specimen from this rarely-seen locality.
