The Veta Grande Claim, Dome Rock Mountains of La Paz County, Arizona has produced what are generally considered to be among the finest United States hematite specimens. This fine plate consists of mirror-bright hematite plates nicely scattered amongst a "forest" of water-clear quartz crystals. The 3.1 cm quartz "sentinel" is striking. The largest hematite crystal is 1.6 cm. Specimens of this quality were found in the 1970s. Ex. Richard Hauck Collection.
