Description

Grouping of lenticular hematite crystals on biterminated quartz crystals.
Very nice contrast showing numerous bright hematite crystals with metallic gray reflections, set on milky, pinkish-white quartz.
An aesthetically pleasing specimen, it is unusual for hematite from this deposit to be crystallized on quartz crystals.
Minerals from the Rio Marina iron mines on Elba Island, Livorno province, Italy.
