Hematite, Marcasite
These dramatic pseudomorphs were originally formed as marcasite crystals on the ocean bottom. These unusual specimens were later pseudomorphed to hematite making for a very three-dimensional and attractive mineral specimen. These radial bursts of crystals were found in the remote western desert of southwest Egypt and dug up by French dealer Alain Carion. The radial bursts on this particular piece are more or less equilateral, which is very uncommon for specimens we have seen. The crystals are a lustrous, rich chocolate-brown. This is a complete-all-around, pristine floater.
