Hematite with Quartz (Eisenkiesel)
Florence Mine, Egremont
Cumberland, Cumbria, England
11.3 x 8 x 5.4 CM (cabinet)
price: $1900
new year 2021
A superb and very esthetic old "Eisenkiesel" that looks like a volcano showing bright red Quartz in the crater. The Hematite is a big heavy hemisphere on the outside, but the inside display side has the open oval void that is filled with sparkling blood red crystals mimicking lava. A small amount of the red Quartz seems to be flowing down one of the volcano sides. Looks great from most any angle, the color is more vivid than others I have seen from the UK and the form is exceptional, a top example from anyplace. In great condition, there is no damage. Classic.
