Mina Morro Velho, Nova Lima, Minas Gerais, Brazil

A classic specimen from this Brazilian locality. Various flattened, almost lenticular, siderite crystals with a yellowish green color, on which a group of dolomite crystals stands out. In dolomite we see numerous pseudohexagonal pyrrhotite crystals, some included in the dolomite. We did not observe the presence of cubanite.

RM2778   Quartz and lenticular siderite

Mina Morro Velho, Nova Lima, Minas Gerais, Brazil

A very aesthetic specimen from this classic Brazilian mine. Numerous aggregates of quartz crystals, with a very elongated prism, almost acicular, with well-defined terminal faces and exceptional luster and transparence. They form divergent aggregates on a siderite matrix, visible on the back, as lenticular crystals formed by flattened rhombohedra. Very aesthetic and huge size sample for this mine.


Size: 8.4 x 7.3 x 6.5 cm.
