HUREAULITE
Specimen hur-1
$ 60.00
Dims: 3.24x2.44x1.07" (8.23x6.19x2.71cm)
Wt: 5.75oz (162.7g)
Jocao mine, Galileia, Minas Gerais, Brazil
This is a specimen of the rare mineral hureaulite. Most of this specimen is pink hureaulite, although its color varies apparently due to a coating of the other mineral, which looks like hematite. Thus the hureaulite varies from pink to a gray-pink, and it appears mostly translucent, but close examination shows that at least some of the crystals are transparent. The pinkest crystals are visible on the sides, where the specimen was separated from its neighbors, but the best crystals (good slanted parallelograms, looking like tiny pink gypsum crystals) are on the surface. The bottom of the specimen is quite sparkly due to the hureaulite crystals.
