Dolomite With Hematite Inclusions

Dolomite With Hematite Inclusions from Pomba Pit, Brumado, Bahia, Brazil

Collection

Robert Lavinsky

Description

Two growth stages of sharply crystallized, twinned Dolomite make for a really superb floater cluster. The bottom crystals are included with Hematite, and are red; while the larger crystal perched symmetrically atop is water-clear. The twinning planes here are sharp enough they could have been carved, and the piece is gemmy and mostly transparent. Ex. Helmut Bruckner.
