6.7 x 6.2 x 3.3 cm. Taramite is a surprisingly rare member of the amphibole group in crystalline form, and this is a superb, large, radiating crystal spray.
RARE08-2-29 - Taramite - $ 750 Itinga, Minas Gerais, Southeast Region, Brazil small cabinet, 6.7 x 6.2 x 3.3 cm
Taramite is a surprisingly rare member of the amphibole group in crystalline form, and large radiating crystal sprays like this came only from this mining district, to my knowledge. I had never seen a good one for sale, til this piece turned up in an old Italian collection, though. The splaying, radiating crystals actually have lend some eye appeal for an otherwise darkly-colored species.
