2.2" Sparkling Hausmannite Crystal Cluster - South Africa
This is an outstanding cluster of shinning hausmannite crystals on a coal-black matrix. The entire specimen measures 2.2" wide and was collected from the N'Chwaning Mine in the Kalahari Manganese Fields of Kuruman, Africa.
Hematite is a fairly common mineral, typically responsible for the red-brown colorations found in other minerals and rocks. Its chemical composition is Fe2O3, occasionally containing small amounts of titanium (variable formula (Fe,Ti)2O3). Much of the time, non-crystalline hematite specimens are the result of a transformation from limonite following loss of water.
