Rosell Minerales

On a druse of quartz crystals we can enjoy numerous aggregates of hematite crystals with a hexagonal to rounded shape and conical growth, very curious, with brilliance and brown to reddish color. These specimens come from a fortuitous find in an area very close to the well-knoewn town of Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines. An aesthetic rarity.

Size: 6 x 3 x 2.5 cm.

This brilliant specimen is an old time hematite from "Le Brézouard", a early 80's finding in the area of Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines. These specimens show a very characteristic hexagonal shape formed by several tabular to laminar brilliant hematite crystals forming aggregates interpenetrated and on a quartz matrix. In this specimen highlights the visibility of the quartz crystals of the matrix, unusual, and the aggregates of small doubly terminated crystals of quartz on the hematite. A very aesthetic and classic specimen for the mining area of Sainte-Marie area.

A very old specimen from Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines. A matrix, full of cavities, those are partially covered by small but brilliant löllingite crystals and arsenic clustered together. With some quartz. We can enjoy this sample under magnification. We have analyzed the specimen and we will send results to the buyer. These specimens are extremely rare on the market.

Size: 6.4 x 5.0 x 4.0 cm.
