Description
Very glassy, lustrous, doubly-terminated, di-pyramidal, "beta-style" Quartz crystals are richly and aesthetically scattered over a vug of this small cabinet sized, almost pure Hematite matrix. This vug is covered with sparkly, bladed, black Hematite crystals on this classic and showy specimen from the Florence Mine of Egremont, England. The Quartz crystals reach 1,2 cm across. They look like Beta-Quartz (a special heat-induced and unusual crystallographic form of Quartz) superficially but really are not, despite most of us thinking so.
