Item Description

Sharp, cubic, lustrous, black Bixbyite crystals measuring up to 5 mm with smaller Bixbyites have formed into an attractive thumbnail group. This is a great representation of the species in general, and the fact that it's not from Utah makes it all the more enticing. These specimens are seldom seen from N'Chwaning. This attractive example of the species is a lovely display quality thumbnail from South Africa.
