This large and fascinating old English specimen came out of the collection of Gene Meieran, and evidently was in an old German collection at one point before that. On one side is black specular crystalline hematite with a few isolated smoky quartz crystals sticking out of it. On the other side is a bed of large quartz crystals. And along one side of the specimen is hematite of the other characteristic form for this area, called "kindey ore" hematite. Three specimens in one!
