The Alps are much more than just pink fluorites and smoky quartzes, with outstanding Hematites being among the other sought-after minerals. This excellent specimen consists of a beautiful lustrous 2 cm fan of Hematite blades growing out of a clear Quartz crystal. The beveled edges of the crystals are stunning, and the mirror-like luster is nicely highlighted by the surface striations. An excellent specimen.
