Quartz, Hematite
Florence Mine, Egremont, West Cumberland Iron Field, North and Western Region (Cumberland), Cumbria, England, UK
Cabinet, 10.0 x 7.0 x 4.3 cm
SOLD
Very glassy and lustrous, smoky quartz crystals to 2.3 cm are aesthetically scattered on mounded CABINET matrix covered with sparkly, black hematite blades on this CLASSIC, OLD-TIME and showy specimen from the famous Florence Mine of Egremont, England. The matrix is fascinating in itself, being rounded, matte-finish galena. A couple of the quartz crystals are very lightly bruised or contacted, but this remains an excellent representation of these species from a famous locality and looks good from several points of view. Ex. George Elling Collection.
