Dark Red Multi Double-Terminated Oriented Growth Hematite Quartz Crystal - order Hubei Province, China

VERY nice double-terminated quartz crystal, with deep red interior color, and a thin red hematite dusting on one side, which could be removed, if desired, with soaking and scrubbing, without reducing the crystal's red color intensity. One side has a order druse of tiny ferruginous quartz crystals, and if you examine the piece with a magnifier, you can fine at least one area of metallic hematite, probably specularite. This piece is full of clean sharp lines, perfect terminations, and lustrous oriented growth crystal faces!!

From Daye County, Huangshi Prefecture, Hubei Province, China.

Measures approximately 4.25 x 2.5 x 1.75 inches.
