Hausmannite (Ref: 7105)
Wessels Mine | Kuruman | Kalahari-Mn-Fields | South Africa

This is a stunning, lustrous piece of loosely intergrown, pseudo-octahedral black Hausmannite crystals, up to 1.4 cm in diameter. This is, of course, a classic form for this species, but in practice, it is rare in any size and quality. This piece is one of my favorite miniatures of this type I have ever seen due to its deep black color, which reflects like a mirror, its sharpness, its incredible luster and its wonderful aesthetic. An outstanding specimen of Hausmannite from the famous Wessels Mine. Often, the pyramid-shaped crystals of Hausmannite are striped; these are mirror-smooth, black, and fine. It likely dates from the 1980s.Data last checked on 27th Jul 2025
