Item Description

The N'Chwaning Mines in South Africa are prolific and iconic localities, which have produced some of the most distinctive and beautiful minerals in the world. Here we have a VERY hard to find association specimen from the N'Chwaning II Mine featuring tiny, sparkling, black pseudo-octahedral crystals of Hausmannite sitting atop gemmy, colorless Gypsum crystals. It's the ONLY specimen of Hausmannite with Gypsum that I can remember having to offer in the auctions. If you're a collector of South African minerals or odd associations, this is something that you're not likely to find anywhere else, so don't miss out.
