A brilliantly metallic specimen of hematite of the highest quality, featuring a complexly terminated 2.5 x 2.5 x 2 cm crystal on matrix of hematite with an entirely different habit, itself then on matrix. This is as close to a "jewel-like" appearance as I think you will ever see for an opaque metallic species!
