Hematite iron roses
 Cava Lombardi, Lucendro Pass, Gotthard Region, Ticino, Switzerland
 Highly lustrous hematite iron roses up to 1.5 cm in diameter with a hemispherical shape, forming a pretty crystal cluster (4.5 cm) on a granite matrix. Accompanying elements are a small amount of rutile (on the hematite), tabular muscovite, and light smoky quartz. A very pretty and locally typical specimen from Cava Lombardi, the oldest and most famous iron rose locality in the Alps (cf. LAPIS 2/2020, pp. 30-35). These specimens were formerly often labeled "Fibbia" or "Gotthard."
