Item Description
A fine Hausmannite miniature! Classic old material from this mine. The tetragonal pyramids are up to 7mm on edge, are razor-sharp and super-lustrous. One of the truly great things about the specimen is that the pyramids retain their individuality, and the back is coated with micro Andradite Garnets. The pyramids are not intergrown like you see on many Hausmannites. This is a very good specimen, not only for the quality of the Hausmannite crystals but the fine geometric combination that you find it in.
