NEW SPECIMENS ADDED!
My posted specimens represent about half
the pocket from a surprising new find at a rediscovered old locality,
somewhere in Dona Ana County , New Mexico (details to follow later
this year). Now, pyrolusite is not on most people's hit list for
beautiful crystallized mineral species. However, as reported in the
current issue of Mineralogical Record's show report, these
really leap out at you, in person. These specimens are composed of
shimmering, almost silky, bundles of crystals with a high
lustre....black minerals that reflect light rather than suck it
in. All of these specimens were chosen for their top "silky" lustre,
condition, and beauty. They are all good, mostly of the same overall
quality, just differing in sizes and shape.

This matrix pyrolusite specimen features chatoyant, black, pyrolusite crystals which grew in a basketweave pattern. Crystals reach 1.0 cm across.
