Item Description

Lithiophorite is a manganese oxide with aluminum and lithium, and good display specimens are rarely seen on the market. I've actually never had a piece of Lithiophorite from Olesna to offer in the auctions. This piece is a good representation of the species and the locality featuring a semi-botyoidal coverage of grey-black colored Lithiophorite sitting on host rock matrix. Very attractive to view up close, and rarely seen on the market for sale. A great piece for rarities collectors or European collectors.
