Item Description

A dramatically sculptural thumbnail of splendent, jet-black, tetragonal, stepped-growth hausmannite crystals from the Kalahari. The amazing branching pagoda-like form of this piece is superlative. The excellent luster causes these crystals to sparkle even in medium light. An outstanding specimen by any standard and better in person! The world's finest hausmannites come from the Kalahari and this is a very choice example. Ex Charlie Key. Valued at $1000.
