A sharp, lustrous hematite crystal with the classic and very unusual crystal habit you rarely see from here of a tabular, scalenohedral or bullet-shaped style of crystallization with a lustrous, pinacoid face on top. These mirror-lustrous hematites, for their habit, are to me among the more impressive examples of the species. Scattered crusts of orange-red andradite microcrystals, including on the termination, are a nice accent. Ex. Charlie Key Collection.
