Magnesite on Hematite (ex Rolando Gioia Collection)

Item Description

A tremendously aesthetic and eye-popping large thumbnail specimen from Brumado featuring a few rhombs of off-white colored Magnesite measuring up to 1.1 cm which are delicately growing perpendicularly on incredibly thin, splendent, silvery-grey colored, tabular blades of Hematite. The piece is crystallized all the way around, and looks beautiful from either side. This is certainly the showiest piece of this particular association that I think I've had to offer in the auctions. From the collection of Rolando Gioia (a contributor to new definitive book on Brazilian minerals: "Minerais e Pedras Preciosas do Brasil").
