Item Description

Ferronigerite-2N1S is a very rare aluminum iron zinc tin oxide. The species has been known since 1947, but the discovery of Ferronigerite-2N1S (originally Nigerite) from the Three Aloes Mine produced the finest examples of the species. Specimens are exceptionally difficult to obtain, and good crystallized examples on matrix such as this are prized by rare mineral collectors. This piece features is a euhedral, beautiful, sharp, lustrous, platy, dark reddish-brown 8 mm crystal of Ferronigerite-2N1S on Feldspar matrix. If you want a fine example of this mineral, look no further, this one is worth picking up. Ex Colin Manlove collection.
