Item Description
There are several bundles of near-parallel growth Hedenbergite crystals on this unusual small cabinet cluster from the famous Huanggang Mines of Inner Mongolia. Such specimens were found in the earlier years of the mine, around 2010. Crystals range in size from 0.5 to 4.5 cm with three major, robust, green to tan colored crystals displaying a silky luster. The prismatic faces have a slightly fibrous aspect and the larger crystals have multiple terminations. Numerous, smaller crystals are clustered in random orientation on the lower front half of the piece. It is very good example for this calcium-iron silicate of the Pyroxene Group from anywhere, and is nice and 3-dimensional!
