MD-199901 - Geikielite - - Archived Maxwell quarry, Chelsea, Les Collines-de-l'Outaouais RCM, Outaouais, Québec, Canada small cabinet, 7.5 x 6 x 4 cm.
7.5 x 6 x 4 cm. Geikielite is a rare magnesium titanium oxide, found usually in microcrystals or masses. It is the magnesium analogue of Ilmenite. Here we have a huge mass of geikielite about 3 inches in size with distinct big crystals over 1 cm in size embedded within it. It shows metallic lustre and some sharp twinning. This has been confirmed via communications with several collectors of rarities and the Royal Ontario Museum. Ex. Philadelphia Academy of Sciences Collection.
