Item Description
First-class thumbnail of lustrous Hausmannite crystals from Wessels. The tetragonal pyramids range up to 8 mm on edge, and in one view they can be seen forming a curving cluster that appears to have followed the form of a now-gone mineral. The inside of this curve is coated with micro Andradites. The aesthetics of this thumbnail are excellent.
