AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An antique specimen of Elba Island Hematite, with twinned crystals up to 30 mm in size, so lustrous that they are difficult to photograph—and therefore definitely more impressive in person than they appear in photos. They are framed by clear Quartz crystals, which enhance the specimen’s appearance.
A great classic of Italian mineralogy, photographed under intense light.
The specimen is photographed under intense professional lighting to best highlight its details and color. Any slight differences in color tones are due to the settings of the device being used and/or exposure to ambient or artificial light with a different color temperature.

Seller's Story
We have been collectors since 1972, present as exhibitors at the main mineral exhibitions in Italy and some European ones (Sainte-Marie-Aux-Mines, Monaco, etc.), where you can find us to get to know us in person, exchange opinions, talk about our beloved minerals and, should the auctions end close to an exhibition, deliver your samples directly.
All proposed minerals, unless otherwise specified, are photographed using a strong light source, to better show the colors and details of the sample.
If you buy multiple minerals in the same auction, we will ship them together and you will only pay the higher shipping costs.
