Schorlomite

Magnet Cove, Hot Spring County, Arkansas

6.14cm x 5.13cm x 4.72cm

Ex. A. E. Foote

Ex. Sunshine Acres School Mineral Collection

Ex. Neil A. Wintringham Collection


Description/Interesting Notes:

A rare old time example of schorlomite from Arkansas!!! Schorlomite is actually a rare titaniferous garnet species that is so named because of its tendency to resemble schorl!!! This specimen consists of a highly complex crystal, the top of which is actually terminated!!! The sides show unusually complex forms and striations!!! A very curious specimen indeed!!! This specimen retains an old affixed Foote label as well as old labels from the Sunshine Acres School (a very "unique" fully accredited private school - circa 1939, it was part of the nation's first Nudist colony), and the Wintringham Collection!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
