Quartz with Hematite
Lechang Mine, Lechang County, Shaoguan Prefecture
Guangdong Province, China
6.7 x 4.5 x 3.7 CM (cabinet)
price: $420
Early summer 2021
Red Quartz crystals are clustered with bladed Hematite in an esthetic presentation. This piece has 6 terminated free standing prisms, all with some orange to red color. From the display side there is no visible damage, however, on the back some damage can be seen. The Quartz has very good transparency and the terminations are clean and sharp. This find was big news in the mineral world about 15 years ago, but no new material has come out for quite a while. We have handled quite a lot of the Quartz from Lechang and it is rare to find any without considerable damage; this is much better than typical.
