Item Description

A fantastically sculptural complex thumbnail of splendent, jet-black, tetragonal, stepped-growth hausmannite crystals from the Kalahari. The amazing multiple terminations and branching pagoda-like form of this piece are superlative. The excellent lustre causes these crystals to sparkle even in medium light. An outstanding specimen by any standard and better in person! The world's finest hausmannites come from the Kalahari and this is a competitive quality thumbnail. Ex Charlie Key. Valued at $700-900.
