Pyrolusite

Pyrolusite (manganese oxide) is not typically seen in specimens that are actually aesthetic; but this 2008 find in New Mexico was an exception. Here, you see it having formed tightly packed "books" of crystals that together create this shimmering, silvery-grey specimen. This sculptural plate is an excellent representation from the lot we obtained.
