A cluster of large Hematite crystals which have a combination of both beveled and curved faces and a high mirror like luster. The color is very dark, nearly black. There are a few areas of reddish brown powdery Hematite in the deeper recesses between the crystals. The crystal faces at one end of the specimen have subtle iridescence on the surfaces which ranges in color for reddish brown to multicolor. The specimen is in fairly good condition but there is a large contact area in the middle of the back of the specimen and two of the larger crystals are not complete at the end.
