Polished XL Bloodstone with Pyrite Display Piece x 1 From Swaziland

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 

A Giant Red, Grey, Black and Golden Pyrite Flecked Swaziland Bloodstone Polished Crystal. This might be the largest one made, but it is definitely the largest Polished Bloodstone Point that we have ever had made.

This is a Beautifully Made Polished Display Crystal Piece with great Lapidary Work. It has sharp corners, a high Polish and Stunning, Colourful and Complex Patterns All Over It. Great piece for the Porch or a Nook, an Alcove, or the missing piece from an empty display pillar top! Beauty! It should be around $1900-$2500, but we have priced it at $1100 ish (the currencies fluctuates slightly) which much more than allows for the freight cost to get it to you and still be a great deal. 

Seftonite is the metaphysical name given to Bloodstone from Africa. This is rare Swaziland Bloodstone which is mined in a very remote and difficult area to gain access too (Plus you have to deal with the Swazi  King directly to have rights to mine this material) The material is a brecciated Chalcedony-like material which generally has specular inclusions of Pyrite with red "drop stone" like Jasper in a grey often clear matrix. This deposit is no longer mined and old school batches of rough come up from time to time which we then process. This deposit sits close to a couple of artisanal gold mines along the Swaziland-South African Mountainous border and has formed as a Conglomerate Banket. (The Pyrite Most Probably has traces of Au in it!) The rough material, even in modern times,  used to always come down from the remote Swaziland Mountains via cows and saddlebags as there was no 4 x 4 or even motorbike getting up there very easily!
