Ettringite, Hematite |
Specimen # | 100750 | |
Mineral: | Ettringite, Hematite | |
Location: | N'Chwaning II Mine, Kalahari Manganese Fields, Northern Cape Province, South Africa | |
Size: | 6.7 x 5.2 x 5.0 cm | |
A tall ettringite towers over this piece, with a fantastic hematite crystal projecting straight through it. The ettringite itself is a good size for the species at 3.2 cm, but it's the hematite in assocation that makes this piece. The hematite is brilliant, razor sharp, and lustrous with mirror-bright faces. In excellent condition, no damage. Ex Marshall Sussman.
This is an amazing, top-level specimen!
