ALPINO, LUSTROUS HEMATITE on ALBITE and GREEN CHLORITE Crystals on matrix - Height: 62 mm - Width: 45 mm- 72 g

Hematite on albite and green chlorite offers a captivating mineral assemblage combining metallic luster with soft, earthy tones. Hematite, an iron oxide mineral, is known for its reflective, steel-gray to black metallic crystals, occasionally exhibiting a lustrous sheen. Albite, a plagioclase feldspar, typically presents as white or light-colored tabular crystals, providing a contrasting background. Chlorite group minerals impart varying shades of green due to their iron and magnesium content, often forming foliated or scaly aggregates. This combination is typical in metamorphic and hydrothermal environments, showcasing mineralogical diversity and textural interplay, making such specimens prized among collectors for their aesthetic and geological value.
