Item Description

Superb complex plate of brilliant Hausmannite octahedrons, ranging up to 1.4 cm on edge, accented by two gemmy pink DATOLITES (a rare and unique combination!) which range up to .8 cm. The back of the piece is coated by thousands of micro Andradite garnets. A killer miniature, in every sense. This piece bright and reflective, and the Hausmannites grow in visually distinct crystals. Valued $900-ish
