Hematite after Ilvaite with Quartz
specimen number:
1341381
location:
Bessemer Ridge, King Co., Washington, USA
description:
A loose prismatic terminated crystal of what was once ilvaite, this now replaced by hematite and coated with sparkling crystals of quartz. At one time people refer to these as replacing crystals of epidote, but I believe it to have been ilvaite. Collected in the 1980s. In great condition.
