A large specimen decked wall-to-wall with quartz included by rusty-red hematite and with specular hematite around the base. This specimen is in fact a solid mass of quartz and hematite - the crystals are all the way around, back, front and sides, and you can display the piece from any number of angles beautifully. These old Frizington quartzes-with-hematite are huge European classics, and this superb example passed through the Harvard Mineralogical Museum and the collections of Ed David and Richard Kelley.
