SHARP, incredibly deep red crystals that are thoroughly infused with microscopic hematite grains, giving them a deep ruddy red color. The piece is pristine and complete 360-degrees except a few very miniscule little nicks. This is a CLASSIC style for Tsumeb. However, large specimens in this condition are very rare.
