Jet black tabular hematite in combination with schorl, quartz and albite micro-crystals. The hematite has very nice luster on front and backside and while it has mostly rough edges those are not damaged but natural. The hematite is set on a single clear and lustrous quartz crystal that has a thin schorl grown right through it. The larger schorl crystals are on the front and up to 1 x 0,3 cm in size. All in all this is a very nice combination piece without damage from the rauris quarry. The pictures also show the exact findspot.
