2.7" Lustrous Iridescent Hematite Crystal Cluster - Italy

This is a wonderful, 2.7 wide cluster of hematite crystals that formed in association with small quartz crystals. It comes from Bacino Mine on Elba Island, Italy, a site well known for the breathtaking hematite specimens it produces. These hematite crystals have exceptional luster and some have iridescent properties, giving the specimen an eye-catching sparkle when rotated.

Comes with an acrylic display stand.

Hematite is a fairly common mineral, typically responsible for the red-brown colorations found in other minerals and rocks. Its chemical composition is Fe2O3, occasionally containing small amounts of titanium (variable formula (Fe,Ti)2O3). Much of the time, non-crystalline hematite specimens are the result of a transformation from limonite following loss of water.
