Item Description
Psilomelane is an obsolete group name for hard black manganese oxides and is RARE from the many mines in the Lordsburg District. A sculptural vein of massive gray submetallic 'psilomelane' rests on matrix and has a nifty accent of a vug lined with sparkly, gemmy calcite rhombs. A rare and excellent reference-grade combination specimen of the species and locale. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection.
