Item Description

Classic material from this giant Magnesite pit in Bahia. This small cabinet specimen features notably sharp, well-formed, VERY gemmy, twinned crystals of Dolomite measuring up to 8 mm across sitting on prismatic, colorless / slightly smoky Quartz crystal matrix. It should be noted that there is a larger Dolomite on the piece, but it's not complete, so we measured the biggest complete twin. I love how the crystals shows alternating faces with bright and matte luster along with a bit of color zoning with golden and colorless hues. Nice quality material, and these have to be arguably the best gem quality Dolomite twins in the world.
