Item Description

Densely intergrown splendent, sub-metallic, hausmannite pseudo-octahedrons form a scuptural and fine miniature example from the famous mines of the Kalahari manganese field. A bit of orangish andradite garnet is a nice accent. Some of the finest hausmannites in the world come from here and this is choice material. An older classic, with multiple display views. Ex Charlie Key Collection. Valued at $200-300. BETTER in person.
