A lustrous and well terminated cluster of manganite crystals from Germany. There are some impressions of other crystals growing against the sides of this piece. I note a millimeter sized ding on the edge of the smaller crystal’s termination, but no other damage beyond being contacted on the bottom. A quality thumbnail specimen in great condition.
