Description/Interesting Notes:
A magnificent example of this rare species from Broken Hill!!! These specimens is comprised almost entirely of
crystalline manganopyrosmalite!!! This specimen consists of several large balls of intergrown
pyrosmalite-(Mn) crystals with a small amount of calcite and a small pale green fluorite crystal in association!!!
The pyrosmalite-(Mn) crystals are highly lustrous with reddish brown color and a slight translucence!!!
This specimen is crystallized all around - there is much more crystallization than it appears in the pics!!!
This is a very rare species from Broken Hill and specimens of this caliber are quite scarce indeed!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY FEBRUARY 7th!!!
