A rare locality piece consisting of aestheic groups of spherical hematite rosettes with milky quartz on a pyrite matrix. The hematite roses are up to 2.6 cm across and have a shiny, gun-metal luster. The hematite roses are free of any obvious damage. The quartz crystals are well terminated and make for an interesting contrast to the hematite. Great old Ward's label included with Hauck label. MY FIRST ASSUMPTION ON SEEIN GTHIS WAS "ANOTHER ELBA PIECE..." BUT ITS NOT! SUCH HEMATITES FROM THE PIEDMONT ARE In FACT MUCH MORE RARE! 7.9 x 4.5 x 3.8 cm
