This week's update features a group of specimens from China's Jinlong Hill, a relatively small deposit that hosts iron-rich quartz veins. The quartz crystals are colored by hematite, giving a pleasing red/orange/pink color. Intergrown with the quartz are lustrous black rosettes of specular hematite. Material from this locality is nothing new to the mineral market, however the quality shown here is quite a bit above average.
