Description

Superb, rich, sizeable matrix specimen of approx a dozen centimetric hematite 'iron roses' with very thin, sharp blades grown upon a drusy of hundreds pericline crystals. Occasionally, a few minor smoky quartz crystals are also present.
Definitely a decorational piece, very large compared to what one usually sees on the market.
In excellent conditions, provided some truly minor peripheral contacts, as depicted. Backside was sawn to remove excess matrix. 
By far, one of the largest I have ever had.
