Hematite Rose |
Specimen # | 100068 | |
Mineral: | Hematite | |
Location: | Coluna Mine, Miguel Burnier District, Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais, Brazil | |
Size: | 6.0 x 5.2 x 2.8 cm | |
This is a wonderful Ouro Preto hematite "iron rose", fully terminated on both sides - a complete floater. I don't know which side I like better! This specimen is in excellent condition (it has one incomplete crystal edge near the left on one side, only a couple of small nicks, and a crystallization feature on one lower side that could be simply a development feature or a contact - it's visible from only one display side). The sharpness of this one is exceptional - no rounding as is so common with these. Similarly the lustre is bright and really stands it apart. This is a gorgeous piece.
