Item Description
Excellent luster and very good definition highlight this notable Hausmannite specimen. Many times, most of the pyramidal crystals blend together save for a few that stand out, but on this piece the individuality is exceptional. The largest Hausmannite is 9 mm on edge, and there is a small amount of almost micro Andradites and unusual pink datolite. They add interest, but the star of the show is the Hausmannite. Very good aesthetics, and a fine combination specimen!
