Hematite  – Cavradi Gorge, Sedrun, Tujetsch, Grison, Switzerland
 
 Highly lusterous metallic hematite with a highly aesthetic sculptural build up. The surfaces have a breathtaking lustre.
Next to localities such as Val Giuv or Göscheneralp, the Cavradi Gorge is certainly one of the most famous in Switzerland, if not the entire Alpine region. In the gorge, the rock is broken down in tedious work in order to reach the coveted clefts.Rock crystal and hematite with rutile of the very best quality can be found here. Minerals from the Cavradi Gorge near Sedrun in Graubünden are rightly sought after by collectors and adorn them  collections worldwide.
