Pyrolusite Specimen - Height: 5 cm - Width: 6 cm- 301 g - (1)

This aesthetically highly appealing pyrolusite originates from the traditional mining area near Gremmelsbach in the Black Forest – a region known for its highly crystalline manganese compounds and their delicate formation. Particularly sought after are step-like forms with pronounced needle- and fan-crystal growth, as this specimen impressively demonstrates.

The pyrolusite crystals present themselves in dense aggregates with needle-like formations that group into radiating structures. Their metallic-silvery surface reflects light with a noble sheen and imparts the piece with a especially lively radiance. The complex arrangement of the crystals makes every view a new experience.
