Item Description
A cluster of intergrown, small but SHARP, pyramidal Hausmannite crystals on massive Hausmannite. Also as an accent the piece has red Andradite garnet at the sides, back and between crystals in the center. The hausmannite is jet black, and with a mirror-bright luster. The hausmannite xtals are in great shape, making this an excellent representative example
