Item Description

Very good hexagonal crystal of the rare mineral Ferronigerite. This tabular crystal has a deep reddish-brown color and a superb luster. It is .6 cm face-to-face (not even corner to corner, which would be more), which is impressive for Ferronigerite. And it is very nicely colored. A quality example of the species.
