About this specimen

Guangdong, specular hematite with quartz at 4 cm; a miniature, supplied on the acrylic stand shown. Specular hematite grown as a mound of bladed rosettes, each blade a thin metallic plate that throws a bright mirror flash, with small quartz crystals set between them.

Specular hematite (specularite) is iron oxide in mirror-bright platy crystals; it gives a piece a metallic sparkle that photographs poorly and looks far better in hand.

Rock crystal is judged on termination quality, clarity and how the crystals sit together, and the Chinese localities have raised the bar on all three.

Guangdong is the source of the red hematoid quartz and green phantom quartz that reached collectors after 2015.

By size it is miniature, 4 × 3.3 × 2.8 cm (1.57 × 1.30 × 1.10 in). Condition is otherwise as photographed.

Each specimen is individually photographed and catalogued before it is listed.
