A fine dolomite twin from Brumado. The notched, twinned crystal looks like a sandwich. The two pieces of "bread" are gemmy and lustrous on edge and have lightly frosted upper surfaces. The center of the dolomite sandwich is tinted a rust color by inclusions of hematite. This is a superb crystal, which is beautifully accented by a water-clear magnesite rhomb. Found in 2008.
