I had never seen a replacement of manganite by hausmannite before and would have expected it from South Africa, but to find it from this old German find really surprised me. Let me say right off that most of these crystals ARE unterminated, but that is why you can own this rare old German pseudomorph for under $500. Despite the damage, the specimen shows very distinct, well-formed crystals to 1.8 cm.
