Item Description
Sursassite is a rare Mn-Al silicate. Lustrous sprays of tiny prismatic, copper-brown crystals richly cover all sides of the quartz matrix. Val D'Err is mentioned Ball's Alpine Guides (1873) and is in the Type Locality area. Rarely on the market. From a museum collection. The numbers match.
