A 5.0 cm wide, comb-like cluster of intergrown hematite iron roses very aesthetically perched atop massive feldspar from the famous Morchnerkar area of Austria. The iron roses have textbook form, are more lustrous on the crystal edges and are nicely accented by silvery muscovite plates. Classic material from the Alois Steiner and Rolf Wein Collections, both noted Alpine specialists. Wein obtained the piece in 1982 from Steiner.
