3D33 - Spinel (Gahnite) - $ 150 Amity, New York, USA thumbnail, 3 x 2.8 x 2.5 cm ex. Marilyn Dodge
Very sharp, and nearly complete, set of Gahnite crystals. The luster is very good, and the largest crystal is 1.9 cm on edge. A truly superb specimen for the species and historic locality. It has old red ink catalogue numbering on one rear face.
MD-37897 - Gahnite - - Archived Franklin, Franklin Mining District, Sussex Co., New Jersey, USA thumbnail, 2.3 x 2.2 x 1.7 cm
This is an outstanding single crystal, on matrix, that is complete all around. The very good luster and sharp crystal form make it surprisingly attractive for a black mineral. Considering that most Gahnites you see referenced are micros, you realize what a killer thumb this really is. And the classic, historic locality is a bonus, anyhow. 2.3 x 2.2 x 1.7 cm All Content and Design ©1996-2010 The ArkenstonePowered by http://mineralwebsites.comBy-species Galleries | ||||||
