Item Description

An uncommon specimen of deep olive-green Manganese-bearing Hedenbergite with jet-black Sphalerite from Broken Hill. There is a bit of pinkish-brown Calcite on the piece which shows an orange-red fluorescence under SW UV light, which makes sense because it's safe to presume if the Hedenbergite contains manganese, so does the Calcite. A nice reference specimen of this fairly hard to find material.
