Description

Description:  RARE Pseudomorph Hematite after Magnetite.   This is an exceptional piece.  The terminations are great.  Though hard to photograph, this piece absolutely sparkles.  Even the form on this one is RARE with all the points on one side.  I had this specimen in my collection and purchased a bigger specimen.  What has been coming in from this mine in the last three years can not come close the the quality of this specimen.

A very aesthetic, glistening and sharply terminated bi-pyramidal crystal of Hematite after Magnetite.  Collected at 9000 to 10000 feet at Payún volcano, Altiplano de Payún Matru, Mendoza, Argentina

Photography -   I photograph outside in full sun for true color rendition.  Occasionally clouds come over that make the color less than it really is.  On rare occasions I supplement with a flash to highlight details.   Lighting minerals correctly will bring out their best color.  Halogen works the best.  The hand or finger in the photo is to give you a comparision of size.  We realize it is hard to tell the size of an mineral by the picture alone. 

Computer monitors - We try very hard for accurate color rendition.  However images look different in color depending on the computer moniter.  I have even moved the laptop from living room (editing pictures) to office to upload and the glare from the windows changes the colors.  If you are unhappy with the item, you may of course return it within 7 days for a courteous full refund.

Measurements - All are measured from the tip to across.  This is the industry standard.  Then we measured across in a X formation.
