Item Description
Huge Hausmannite crystal associated with gemmy, water-clear Calcites. The stepped Hausmannite is 2.2 cm on edge, with the base being truncated by contact. There is a cluster of four gemmy Clacites on one side of the Hausmannite octahedron. Although the Calcties are cleaved, they add drama and balance to the specimen. A very good, and large, Hausmannite, that well-represents the locality and the species.
