A stunning miniature, of this classic combination of species for Wessels. Few are found with such a wonderful and aesthetic combination of the garnet coating on hematite! this is essentially one large,elongated crystal of hematite, complete all around save for small contacts near the base. 4.2 x 2.8 x 2.4 cm
