A REMARKABLY fine, large and aesthetic specimen from this now well-known find! What makes this piece so special is its uncommon 3-dimensionality, with one platy hematite superimposed in front of another. The specimen has an almost perfect balance of shimmering, golden rutile crystals and metallic-looking tabular hematite.
