Item Description
This is a rare and very interesting example of the Manganese rich variety of Diaspore, with large bladed crystals of this unusual color for the species. The piece is very rich, and a lot of the smaller crystals are terminated though many of the larger, outer crystals are contacted or incomplete. Some of the smaller, protected and terminated crystals are just outstanding for the species. Charlie Key collection
