A well formed Hematite crystal rests upon a bed of Quartz. There are reddish colored Rutile crystals which have grown epitaxially on the surface. The specimen is in relatively good condition, but there is only part of another Hematite crystal and the largest Rutile crystal is broken. The specimen has been glued onto a styrofoam pedestal which has been glued onto a styrofoam base which in turn is glued to the bottom of a 2 inch fold up box.
