An old-time, classic and huge specimen of lustrous, bubbly, banded, rust-red to gray-black, hematite "kindey ore" from the iron mines of Egremont, England. These look carved but actually the patterns are quite natural, and formed from lathe-like crystals as they shear away from each other naturally in the mine. The good ones, like this, have a rounded, natural botryoidal top on them, too. Weighs 16.5 pounds or 7.5 kilograms. Ex. Mullane Collection.
