Product code: Piemontite - Acicular Red Piemontite Crystals with Yellow Garnet, Black Braunite, Red Alurgite, and White on sale Quartz - Italy
Radial, dark-red sprays of elongated piemontite crystals, with the purply-red-colored mica alurgite, black braunite, white quartz, and yellow spessartine garnets, this specimen is a cornucopia of mineral specimens which are very uncommon, and come from the Italian side of the Western Alpine mountain belt. Oddly, only the quartz does not contain manganese!
Comes with a handwritten note in what is, to me at least, an unknown language, which I believe is a description of the specimen. Locale: the Prabornaz Mine (Praborna Mine), Saint-Marcel, Aosta Valley, Italy.
Measures 4.6 x on sale 2.25 x 1.25 inches.
