The second example of columnar hematite in the collection, from the same pocket, and with qually bizarre habit. This piece shows only slightly less elegant display than the above, but is overall larger, more hefty, and more impressive crystalographically for the sheer size of the hematite crystals - and its still pretty darned displayable and dramatic! Like the above specimen, it is remarkably complete all around and displays 360-degrees. It is MUCH MORE lustrous in person. One of the most astonishing Kalahari specimens I have ever seen...and I think of some significance for hematite as a species, as well
