A superb large thumbnail (2.6 cm) composed of a crystal of Hematite that has excellent form and superb luster. This central crystal is accented by numerous smaller Hematites and many sparkly micro Andradites. It is complete-all-around. Its luster, sharpness of form, and overall display as a thumbnail makes it an outstanding competitive-level piece as well as a classic for the locality. Ex. Charlie Key.
