Description/Interesting Notes:

An absolutely incredible example of this rare species from Brazil!!! This is an extraordinary example of the species for Brazil!!! This specimen hosts an impressive showing of sharp, highly complex crystals of braunite!!! The crystals have highly complex habits that range in size to over 4mm!!! Upon close examination, one can find crystals that are reminiscent of other localities in addition to the curious, curvaceously modified crystals!!! The crystals have luster that ranges from matte to bright/metallic!!! This is truly an extraordinary example of the species from this old time manganese locality!!! This specimen retains an old label from the Velte collection as well!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! Don't miss out on this valuable old time rarity!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!!
