Description
Numerous “pompons” of acicular pyrolusite nicely distributed over the entire surface of the specimen.
Pyrolusite is a mineral consisting essentially of manganese dioxide.
Antique 19th century piece, supplied with its label indicating “Raubach – Westerwald”, from the Munich mineral dealer H. Maucher.
A very good specimen of this mineral species, which rarely produces attractive crystallizations.
