Hematite from Pea Ridge Mine, Washington County, Missouri, USA
A loose cubic crystal grouping of fluorite with minor chalcopyrite. Partially dusted with hematite, where hematite is not present when considering the transparency and luster up on the fluorite crystals. Micro-chipping present but overall in good condition. Collected in the 1970s.
