Item Description

This is one of the most iconic combinations that you'll find from the Kalahari Manganese Field. This small cabinet display specimen is filled with beautiful, sharp, well-formed, lustrous, pagoda shaped crystals of grey-black colored Hausmannite associated with eye-catching reddish Andradite Garnet for a really nice touch. Additionally you'll see there are small white crystals of Datolite on the piece, which is an uncommon associated in my experience. Very good quality all around, with no major damage that I can see. The largest Hausmannite measures 1.3 cm. Priced at $700 in our inventory.
