Hematite on Adularia and Quartz (Ref: 16.1-102 )
Alchuri, Shigar Valley, Skardu District, Baltistan, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan
71mm x 42mm x 37mm
minID: U07-0MU
Lustrous flat crystals of Hematite esthetically perched on a contrasting matrix. The Hematites have some bright mirror-like faces and some faces with a dusting of Chlorite. The Adularia is also well-crystalized in stacked arrangements with a few small Quartz crystals tucked in as well. In exceptional condition, the individual Hematite crystals reach over 2.8 CM and are in nicely aligned clusters and stacks. The Alpine minerals of Pakistan can be incredible as seen here, and rival some of the famous finds in the European Alps. More impressive in person, a classic Alpine cleft assemblage. This looks great from several angles. From: Well-Arranged Molecules
