Gemmy, yellow-green apatite crystals 2.5 cm set in nicely contrasting white quartz matrix. A few martite crystals, a hematite pseudomorph after magnetite, are scattered on the specimen. Ex Marty Zinn Collection. 6.1 x 5.4 x 3.4 cm
A classic: sharp, flashy and lustrous crystals of amethyst with inclusions of reddish hematite, from Thunder Bay; this is a rather large specimen of this classic material. 11.2 x 7.5 x 5.4 cm
A truly elegant specimen from the recent finds in Brazil - long, slender, golden crystals of rutile extending up off a "base" of shiny-metallic hematite. 3.6 x 3.5 x .1 cm
Shiny-metallic, architectural hematite with hints of included golden rutile crystals. The mirror luster of the hematite does not come through in the pics. 6.5 x 5 x .4 cm
An excellent and pristine Swiss thumbnail of gemmy, cherry-red rutile crystals to 2 mm on metallic-bright hematite plates from the famous Val Cavradi. 2.4 x 1.8 x 0.5 cm
From recent finds in Brazil, golden crystals of rutile shooting up from a "base" of shiny-metallic hematite - this one has a really nice balance to it. 3.6 x 2.5 x .3 cm
This is a superb Hematite for any locality. These twinned crystals (the fabulous termination belongs to the dominant crystal) have a fantastic mirror-like luster, which makes it devilishly hard to photograph. This is a terrific thumb, and far better in person! 2.6 x 2 x 1.5 cm
Well-defined and extremely lustrous on both sides, this is a lovely blade of hematite with classic form for the locality. Lustre is super! The natural contact on the left edge does not detract at all (and points back anyhow), and the red rutiles add to the overall aesthetics. A very showy thumb! 2.8 x 2.4 x .8 cm
This is a dramatic, complete, tabular, hematite crystal with mirror bright luster and fine crystal form. There is very minor bruising on one termination but it is nearly pristine and is complete all around. Note the sharp trigons on the truncated c face, sticking out at you - mesmerizing in person! 4.8 x 4.5 x 1.4cm
Extremely sharp and well formed, octahedral, magnetite crystals, on matrix, display a thin coating of hematite, giving them an unusual chocolatey color. The crystals have not been pseudomorphed, just dusted. The largest crystal measures .75 cm across. 6.7 x 4.3 x 2.9 cm
Originally formed as marcasite crystals on the sea bottom, these unusual specimens later were pseudomorphed to hematite and make for amazingly sculptural and attractive examples of crystalography in action. They form all kidns of wild shapes but these are among the more dramatic! They were found in the remote western desert of southwest Egypt and dug up by Parisian dealer Alain Carion and his son. 5.7 x 3.2 x 2.6 cm
Originally formed as marcasite crystals on the sea bottom, these unusual specimens later were pseudomorphed to hematite and make for amazingly sculptural and attractive examples of crystalography in action. They form all kinds of wild shapes but these are among the more dramatic! This radial burst of crystals looks like the ice crystal ship from Superman. They were found in the remote western desert of southwest Egypt and dug up by Parisian dealer Alain Carion and his son. 3.6 x 3 x 2.8 cm
A sharp, mirror-metallic hematite crystal, almost like a machine part, on a cluster of sparkly, microcrystalline hematite. 9 x 5.8 x 3.5 cm
A fascinating Utah pseudomorph specimen featuring magnetite crystals that have been replaced by hematite, perfectly retaining their sharp form. Sometimes these are called "martite" 8.5 x 6.2 x 4.9 cm
From recent finds in Minas Gerais, bright, golden crystals of rutile shooting up from a base of hematite. 2.4 x 1.7 x .4 cm
