Hematite coated by Andradite (Ref: 13.1-420)
N Chwaning II Mine, Kalahari Manganese Filed, Northern Cape Province, South Africa
58mm x 34mm x 32mm
minID: 820-HX9
A Kalahari classic, sharp and lustrous Hematite crystals are nearly covered with blood-red Andradite Garnets. In very good condition the only damage to note is on the outer edges. From a find made over 20 years ago, these coated Hematites are now rarely seen on the market. In person the red hue is deeper than the photos show. A few areas of mirror bright Hematite are exposed where the garnet layer has come off. From the famed NChwaning Mine that is more famed for the great Rhodochrosites. A very desirable specimen of this unique find. From: Well-Arranged Molecules
