Interesting Facts
Quartz is one of the most common minerals on Earth, yet specimens with such exceptional clarity are rare and highly sought after. Hematite, an iron oxide mineral, often forms in unique rosette-like structures, earning it the nickname "iron roses." The combination of these two minerals in a single specimen creates a striking contrast of clarity and depth, making this piece a true standout.
