Description
A specimen of hausmannite and andradite from the N’Chwaning II mine in South Africa. The piece features beautiful pseudo-octahedral, pagoda-like clusters of hausmannite crystals, displaying a bright sub-metallic lustre and rich black color. Small, delicate pale-pink andradite crystals accompany the hausmannite, providing a subtle and attractive visual contrast. A classic South African combination and an appealing example of material from this locality.
