Item Description
Superb, stately specimen of Hausmannite on Manganite, with a small amount of Calcite for accent. The Hausmannites are classic - tetragonal pyramids with mutiple, overlapping stepped growths, and superb luster. On top of that, the crystals are HUGE - up to 2.1 cm on edge. The several Hausmannites rest on a Manganite matrix that is massive to sparkly microcrystalline. An excellent, aesthetic specimen for this desirable species. valued $750
