Surrounding them are intricate rusty-red to brown mineral formations, while subtle metallic areas appear throughout the darker matrix. The combination creates incredible texture, depth and contrast despite the specimen's relatively compact size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reverse retains much of the solid natural Hematite matrix, making the crystal-filled cavity on the display face even more dramatic.
