A CLASSIC, OLD-TIME and superb specimen of scintillating, specular hematite flakes richly sprinkled within very glassy, smoky beta-quartz crystals from the famous iron mines of Egremont, England. All of the crystals are damage-free on this very fine old-timer. You would be hard-pressed to find a better representation of the two species in this combination. Ex. Buckelew and Richard Hauck Quartz Collections.
